Letter to Rain

Dear Rain,

You are very loud on our metal roof. I have yet to venture very far outside due to your formidable presence, but I assume you have also made everything very wet. This is most unwelcome.

Not only are you wet, you are also cold! You are currently mixing three different physical states of one chemical substance all at once. There are tiny beads of ice mixed in with your liquid drops of water. I understand that you are vital to all [known] forms of life, but could you be less loud on my roof?

Thanks,
Chrissy

This is what I was greeted with upon my arrival at Wal-Mart last night:

Christmas? Really? It's not even Thanksgiving yet!

Muffins!

I made muffins tonight! the nice puffy ones are mine. the lame short ones are Mom's.
