I Love to Write

Coffee in hand, I now sit quietly, listening to rain pelting the metal roof in a rhythmic way. My chores were done early and when sloshing through the flooded yard as I walked to the horse barn, I feared the water would run over the top of my rubber boots as I walked carefully, minding I didn't step into a hidden hole.

Due to the storms my horses stayed inside and left me piles to clean at a later time. I wonder if the water continues to rise if they will learn the back stroke!

I fell in love with this place when I moved here but over the years, due to unkempt waterways and the Mississippi river over flowing. I have lost that love. Higher ground is in my forecast! Maybe a move to the Ozark mountains or the beautiful blue ridge area. Maybe just down the road an hour away into the local hills! Where ever I go, I will look forward to seeing any water run down hill!
