A rainy day morning...

{{{{ RAIN }}}}
This good rain was in SEPTEMBER....about an inch..
hoping for more in OCTOBER...so far...nothing but a few light..showers.
Now...it's NOVEMBER and nothing .....but  
IT IS IN THE FORECAST for this week.... 

We lost a big part of our grass thru the summer but I can re-seed it next year.
It will be just fine...   
"You pray for rain, you gotta deal with the mud too. That's a part of it. "
Denzel Washington
"There is more to sex appeal than just measurements. I don't need a bedroom to prove my womanliness. I can convey just as much sex appeal, picking apples off a tree or standing in the rain."
Audrey Hepburn
"The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain."
Dolly Parton
"And when it rains on your parade, look up rather than down. Without the rain, there would be no rainbow"
Gilbert K. Chesterton.
"The best thing one can do when it's raining is to let it rain."
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
"Healing rain is a real touch from God. It could be physical healing or emotional or whatever."
Michael W. Smith 
"Criticism, like rain, should be gentle enough to nourish a man's growth without destroying his roots."
Frank Howard Clark
  This beautiful flag has flown, every day,  in the month of Sept......in remembrance   of  9/11/2001.
TODAY, it rests in it's porch corner during the MAGNIFICENT RAIN....

Rain makes me hungry...wonder why?
We love these little frozen hash browns...:)
 



"I don't believe in pessimism. If something doesn't come up the way you want, forge ahead. 
If you think it's going to rain, it will."
Clint Eastwood

"I love going to the feed store and drinking coffee and talking about how much rain we need."
Thomas Haden Church
and my personal favorite.......
"Save a boyfriend for a rainy day - and another, in case it doesn't rain."  ♥♥♥   MAE WEST 
OOO, that MAE WEST was my kinda woman... 
“When women go wrong, men go right after them.”
“Too much of a good thing can be wonderful.”

I hope you have a SOFT, KITTY CAT KIND OF DAY....♥  ♥ ♥

What a neat post. Gotta tell you- I have always loved Mae West's quotes. She was just sooo outrageous at a time when most women did NOT speak up. Love her spunk. We had rain here today, too. xo Diana

I can see that you are more than ready for the rain when it comes. And I hope that it is gentle yet steady. You may be planning tablescapes and scrumptious things to bake already.

Sweet Tea said...

Loved the quote about criticism - so true.

We had rain and some blustery storms this evening. Very thankful for the rain!

Kelly said...

Glad to know you're getting some much needed rain. those quotes were fun to read. We have been enjoying some nice weather lately, but our water levels are low due to lack of rain this summer.

Theresa @ Take A Sentimental Journey said...

Rain is really needed for become a green garden. I think you must have to need proper grass seeding on your garden.

Terriea Kwong said...

Stumbled into your blog. Love the quotes and the pictures. Sweet and cute kitty. We're having rain here in Hong Kong.

Greeting from Terrie

This is a fun post BJ! I hope you do get that rain and the kitten is just too cute:@)

Theresa said...

We are expecting rain here this evening! When it is raining I actually enjoy staying at home and getting some work done! I need it to rain because I am behind on my chores:) Have a blessed day my friend, HUGS!

SueLovesCherries said...

I love all your quotes - thanks for putting them all together! Rainy photos always make me feel cozy, too!

Always Nesting said...

I giggled about your rain post and losing part of your yard. When we lived in Texas I loved it when it rained! It's only October and already I've had enough rain and know I have till May, darn it! Although I live in Oregon, we also lost part of our yard this summer and had to lay new sod. It's always something, huh?

The French Hutch said...

We are expecting rain today and your rain post made me smile. I don't mind the rain, especially if we need it and we most certainly need it now. So dry and it was hot yesterday. A nice rain will bring a cool down for the weekend, and its suppose to be cool here now. Thanks for the rain post bj........
Enjoy your weekend.

That head of yours is so full of great ideas it must hurt. This is just the best. I love how you associated all these great quotes with your rain. We still have had very little and warm days. My flowers think it is spring again. I am afraid it will come a freeze one night and end them. There must be something you are not so good at.

Screaming Sardine said...

I LOVE Mae West. When I was a little girl, I watched all her movies and thought she was the cat's meow. Even did a killer impersonation of her when I was seven. They don't make 'em like her anymore.

Cheers,

I just could have given you such a big hug this morning (having my coffee) when I saw your post.
It's your neighborhood. It's like my neighborhood. Your lawn after such a drought looked exactly as you would expect.

I love my little home but it is not in a lovely neighborhood. It's our tiny bit of heaven..and I love it. It's been fun making it my own and watching Howard get used to flowers and plants and color. He had never had that in his life. It's been fun.

I think you know what I mean..

TexWisGirl said...

we've been waiting here too. sadly in yesterday's forecast, we only ended up with less than 1/2 an inch, spread over 2 different showers. oh well...

Out of the rain is the very best place for the flag on a stormy day.

WHERE RED ABIDES

A day filled with scarlet, they say,
Can make the sad heart skip and play;
For where red abides,
A little bird hides
And sings every worry away.
