Thunder no rain.

Thunder clouds moved in all day with a push here and a shove there. Finally, shoulder to shoulder, they barked out with one voice and woke the dog.  I stepped outside to let my nose beg for a little rain. The answer came swiftly as a dust cloud took residence on my face. So much for free water. Oh good, Rose is back to sleep. Loud clouds these living dirt shrouds who park themselves neatly between my peepers. I think I will curse them and wallow back inside with the other animals. Sleep well everyone, I've got some washing up to do.
