"Rain, Rain, Go Away! Come Again Another Day!
Little Johnny wants to play,
Rain, Rain, Go to Spain, 
Never Show your Face Again!" 
I like the IDEA of FALL more than I actually like the autumn season. The thought of galoshes, umbrellas and leaves changing colors creates a charming visual!  In my mind!
But in reality, the rainy season, when I have to wait for a respite in the storm so I can get out on a run frustrates me.  Slows me down.  
This 1st big storm this year came in with gusto!  It's been a relentless downpour!  Yesterday I felt like curling up with a good book but since I was taking dinner to the Hollands, I needed cooking supplies so I had to venture out despite my preference to hunker down!  Duty Calls! 
"Under my head till morning; but the rain
Is full of ghosts tonight, that tap and sigh
Upon the glass and listen for reply..."   -Edna St. Vincent Millay
