At least it started raining

It's rainy again
Third day in a row
Darker than it has been
And a bit more slow

The heat of summer
Fills up all the air
A lethargic bummer
Lots of skin being bared

New toy I got her
Dog's not up for playing
It could be hotter
At least it started raining

    cyber - Yeah, I often pray for rain when it's hot like that. A summer storm can be quite refreshing.

  11. Funny, we don't live in the same continent, but we seem to be experiencing the same weather. I was thinking "It could be hotter, at least it started raining" just earlier today. I enjoyed reading this. :)
