Well, to say the least, it was raining. And then it rained some more. And then Billy Collins did his live reading at 5:30 – Thank you Billy!<\/p>\n

When the rain came down
\nmaking circles in circles
\nof the world already so wet
\nOut painting, grey isn’t
\nwhat I was there to do
\nso I broke out the tea
\nthinking this will pass.
\nIt poured and I poured.
\nOn my phone, a poet
\nreading. How amazing,
\nto sit in your car and
\nwatch a favorite poet
\nread and talk about
\nhis words. He was, in fact,
\napologetically in Florida.
\nWhile he spoke I viewed
\nthe fuzzy world past two
\nwatercolor palettes and
\nlaughed so I painted
\nthem and him and went home.
\nIt was a good day despite
\nthe endless rain and news.
\nAnother day of staying home
\nor at least alone, painting
\nand writing and finding
\na scrap or two of laughter.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
