Spring Rain

Why is it that it rains every time we need to go to Costco? Anyway, whenever it rains I think of this poem, one of my favorites:

Spring Rain, by Sara Teasdale

I thought I had forgotten,
But it all came back again
To-night with the first spring thunder
In a rush of rain.

I remembered a darkened doorway
Where we stood while the storm swept by,
Thunder gripping the earth
And lightning scrawled on the sky.

The passing motor busses swayed,
For the street was a river of rain,
Lashed into little golden waves
In the lamp light’s stain.

With the wild spring rain and thunder
My heart was wild and gay;
Your eyes said more to me that night
Than your lips would ever say… .

I thought I had forgotten,
But it all came back again
To-night with the first spring thunder
In a rush of rain. 




The pair of bodies is so close to completion -- just four more tabs to bind! Unfortunately, I already know that they're too big in the waist; it's going to lace almost closed there...oh bother. I guess I should've taken into account the relative squishiness of my waist when using the CCPG. Also, the shift/chemise/smock is on its way to completion as well! Looks like I might be able to make my Ren Faire deadline after all, although part of me is still the tiniest bit sad to not go as a generic pirate queen.
