Busy Week...

2. Rain

We came home to rain. Which I love.

For some reason, all I want when it rains is this: 

Hot chocolate and Sense & Sensibility.

Except that I want the movie--

The really beautiful one with Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet.

But since I have yet to replace my old VHS tape with a DVD, 

I was left drinking my cocoa and pining for my movie, 

rather than actually watching it.

Ah, well.

And I couldn't help snapping this photo in the rain... 

only because I was thinking as an English nerd, 

and (Rachel, this is for you), 

my brain saw this image and kept repeating that really annoying poem

by William Carlos Williams:

so much depends

upon

a red wheel

barrow

glazed with rain water

beside the white chickens.

Okay, it's a tan wagon rather than a red wheelbarrow.

And there are no chickens.

But I thought of the poem anyhow.

Supposedly it's a brilliant poem.

I've missed that part of it somewhere.
