Here is an appropriate poem for this rainy week, by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow: Thanks Joan, that fits right in our day. DAD

RAINY DAY

The day is cold, and dark, and dreary;
It rains, and the wind is never weary;
The vine still clings to the moldering wall,
But at every gust the dead leaves fall,
And the day is dark and dreary.
My life is cold, and dark, and dreary;
It rains, and the wind is never weary;
My thoughts still cling to the moldering Past,
But the hopes of youth fall thick in the blast
And the days are dark and dreary.
Be still, sad heart! and cease repining;
Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;
Thy fate is the common fate of all,
Into each life some rain must fall,
Some days must be dark and dreary.

I usually call these Monday mornings the best morning of the week for me, but not this one, the first thing is it is a holiday-Labor Day, and things are going to be very quite around. I get lonesome . and the weather that you see above, over two inches of rain and only 75 is the high for the day, this is all from the tornado. My feeble plans for today were to sit on the patio and enjoy the wildlife passing by, now you may find me taking a nap with Prince.

" The secret is to become wise before you get old"

Mary also had plans for today, she has been working so hard for the past  weeks, so she is planning to go to Pigeon Forge and take a little break and maybe a little shopping. I don't know if this weather will change her mind or not.
