at first i would have written, an AWFUL day or a HARD day or a FRIGHTENING day or a day of SAD or a day of WORRY or.....
but none really were exact enough to say. i would say one in my mind and it would be immediately countered by the fact that it is just a day of inordinate RAIN. it has poured rain. non~stop since in the middle of last night sometime. poured. and i mean non~stop. more rain today than we got for the entire Monsoon weeks. More than half of all the earth in this Place has standing water. there has not been a single vehicle come or go down this road or any leading to it in 3 directions. that's not true. Early this morning the UPS woman barreled her way through. but that was many hours ago.

this is Nothing compared to outside where the Goats are. it's Mud. they do not know what to do.
there really is nothing they Can do that is ok. it's mud.
the forecast is for Rain the next 3 days. the last time this happened i think was 15 years ago? so, i can say to myself then, well, it isn't "really" like this. but what if it might be again?, or more often? i need to think of what i can do for the Goats. once it's happening, they are helpless and so am i, to help them.
but what i did was stitch round and round, the revolutions of DayNight on the cloth. and i kept looking at her face, ....that expression of hers and though i couldn't possibly assume it today, it did ease the feelings and they came and went. it WILL stop raining sometime. and most likely, everyone will survive and we will be Just Going again.
and i almost forgot to say. That's! what all the comotion was for last evening. Animals know. are so suseptible to changes in barometric pressure.
