.. and therein lies the hardest test for man.
ReplyDeleteAnd I guess sun would be the picnic on sunny days too. Either way, I like them both.
ReplyDeleteit may be the picnic for the rain, but it sure is a downer for me. but i'm getting better at it by the year.
ReplyDeleteLove rain specially when sleeping.
ReplyDeleteThere’s a proverb that says "give me a lemon and I'll make some lemonade" (or something like this, I'm terrible with proverbs!). So, if we are in the middle of a picnic in a sunny day and suddenly the rain comes, dance and enjoy the refreshment of the delicious drops of water!
ReplyDeleteThis is a very true statement for garden beds, stretches of lawns and shrubbery everywhere!
ReplyDeleteI love how light and humouristic that one is!
ReplyDelete...And it is no picnic when it doesn't.
ReplyDeleteLiving in a drought prone area these words are a real truth for me!
ReplyDeleteNP--I've been remiss and have had some health problems, so I am now catching up with your wonderful blog.
ReplyDeleteI love this post and to me, it really speaks to who you are (as I see it) because you have the most positive outlook on life. It has affected me profoundly--and I thank you for that.
Rain is for the ducking of.
