Puddles

Yes, there was lots of rain Monday, with very little visibility during a long drive.

Yes, there were lots of puddles on the road..

Standing water in the yard might be a problem, but I still love seeing the reflections of the sky, the buildings, the kids as they run through them while holding their umbrellas aloft. They’re like tiny, temporary ponds that make me drink in the transient visions of blue water in the lawn and hope that frogs use them as a path to go to another location.

But what I really do not wish to see — this morning, one cup’s worth of water underneath the coffee maker. Looks like the coffee maker wants a replacement. This shouldn’t happen before 8 AM. Gah!

    The coffeemaker continues its downward spiral into coffeemaker suicide. Now it arbitrarily lights its red “on” light and I’m not able to shut it off. I suspect it’s a coffeemaker manufacturer conspiracy. The darn thing is now unplugged.
