Ah, There's No Sound As Sweet As Gentle Raindrops on My Roof

The clouds are following the forecast as I was hoping they would and dropping the promised rain. I am starting this day at midnight and soon the sound of raindrops on my roof will lull me to sleep until the sun is high enough to shine through my window. Late in the morning I expect to wake to a fresh clean world -- or more rain. Either will be a blessing. Read more about the blessings of rain and watch some of my favorite music videos about rain.

The Sun Has Gone to Bed and So Must I

Yes. It's a cop-out. I'm just too tired to write anymore tonight and I usually post at midnight. The sun is going to bed earlier these nights, and I begin to feel sleepy earlier, too. It's supposed to get down to almost freezing tonight for the first time this season.  I'm bundled up and the cold and dark combine to tempt me under the covers.

Do the time change and cold make you want to go to bed earlier, too?

If you're sleepy when you read this, take a catnap, or, if it's night for you, head for your pillow. It's flu season, and it doesn't pay to get too  tired.

Goodnight.
