Mnemosyne, Muse of Memory

Sitting out an afternoon cloudburst 
The rain has poured from the sky in waves.  This little female cardinal found a place to wait out the heavy rain.  It stops for a while, then you go out and get trapped in it.  The rain gutters have overflowed with water and the down spouts gush a tube of water out away from the house.  Amazingly, the basement has not been too bad.  We have to keep the AC on to dry the house out.  I went running the other day and decided to get completly soaked.  My running shoes still "squish" when I walk days afterwards.  The grass is emerald green, an unusual look for the end of July.  As I am writing this I think I hear the patter of more rain.
