The impatiens on the screened porch
are spluttering, soaked and indignant,
protesting the face full of rain
blasted by winds unbenignant.
You’d think all the thundering torrents
would make this rank air feel better
but the impatiens will attest to the fact
it just gets wetter and wetter.

The impatiens look like they’re thriving off the rain. We have pale blue skies this morning and humidity of 73%, though I don’t think for one moment it will last.

Indeed the impatiens look better than the rest of us hereabouts!

We’ve had humidity in the high 80’s right into the 90’s. It’s been like a swamp out there so I understand. Nice today and then we have some rain coming in for a couple of days. 🙂

Alas, “swamp” is the exact right word — and the swamp is in the air! It’s like trying to breathe a swamp! No break here yet, but sooner or later it comes, yes? Glad to hear you’ve got a nice day. It gives me hope!
