Several days in a row have been sunny and warm. Each day that passed my longing, yearning, pining increased for clouds and rain. We had a couple of taunts, but not a true soaking rain. My rain stick is still hiding in our unpacked possessions. I was threatening to tear through boxes to find it.

I wanted something that reminded me of ‘my Mama in her kitchen,’ when she had her old stove (before her electric stove) with traces of my likes. It arrived yesterday. It will not be put up until Scott finishes the bedroom and closet; but it is here and this is our mural…
