Crazy grin people- make me jealous

So– today I ate a Hershey bar 

And dreamed of being a master seamstress while rummaging through the remnant bin at Walmart 

Instead of going for a run

I know, I know, I hear ya-

That sounds silly 

especially now- when you put it on paper 

Saw a guy out running when I headed home from said Walmart 

Felt a little guilty as he smiled and waved when I drove by-

He grinned almost as if to say 

'I got my run in, how about you?'

Put the groceries away 

Head back out to pick the kids up from VBS 

Only to see the same guy 

Really, really- the same guy-

Still running it 

Grinning like a crazed happy thing-

Must have been his long run-

I tell myself- on account of that grin-
Those endorphins kicking in overtime for sure on this one...

Made me jealous

The mornings here are perfect now, 

It's what we call monsoon season here in New Mexico – 

Although 'monsoon' in New Mexico means something totally different than say-Africa
But you knew that

It sprinkles off and on for maybe an hour-sometimes 2 if we're lucky -

But we'll take it –

And we'll Instagram videos of the rain puddling on our windshields
And our friends will watch it over, and over in awe of it's beauty

We'll even Facebook shout out that- "it's raining!" 

Just in case our neighborhood is luckier than the one across town- 

Bragging rights abound- when it comes to rain here.

 

last night, it rained enough to have water run in our newly river rocked drainage ditch- 

It was beautiful

A sight to behold 

Like our own little creek

Now dry

Till next rain

Fingers crossed it will be tonight

We'll sit on the back porch 

And watch

Play chess

Smell the rain 

As only you can here

I might run later

if not ---

it's an early one for me tomorrow 

Got to keep on, keeping on-

Til then, make me jealous 

and show me how it's done
 

Crazy grin people
