Yesterday afternoon it .....began to rain!!! And lo and behold, it is still raining thirty hours later. Such a strange but wonderful sound in this drought-stricken area. I do love the mellowness of rainy days...The muffled sounds, the muted light...In my mind, it helps me transition into fall, reminds me of one of my favorite poems from childhood:Keats:To Autumn: beginning "Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness" - have never forgotten it.
I spent the day at Tom and Jeannette's again. The children love some Victorian storybooks about a little girl named Elsie. They ask me to help act them out again and again. I am always the hypocritical person plotting against the virtuous Elsie and her father - today, in the person of Miss Daniels, trying to break up Mr. Dinsmore's (Elsie's father's) engagement to Miss Rose -so I can steal him for myself. This afternoon,I must say, I surpassed myself - handing in my best performance ever. "My dear Mr. Dinsmore, I must prevail upon you to believe that my criticisms of Miss Rose are based soley on my fondest desire for your happiness, and that of Miss Rose." etc. etc...Little Abby looked at me and said, "Mrs, Challies, you are such a good actress!" What a hoot! And I get paid for it!
We received the unfortunate news yesterday that our new renters, who have proved so faithful, are moving to Florida on Sunday as "there is no work around here."...They will be the first people who have left honorably and will have their deposit returned to them. He is Hispanic, doubtless illegal, but certainly a good father, provider, and renter! Phooey...We have asked them if they know of others who might take their place.
Poor Maryanne has felt terrible - dizzy, nauseated, etc for several days now. We are wondering if she couldn't be suffering from the same sort of thing that put Marg in bed for awhile. She has spent much time in the pool and complained of vague ear ache since last week. Time to find a doctor!
Tomorrow, Dad will head north to apply for a job he saw advertised online. It is a humble job, but a lot better than nothing - Hobson's Choice, at this point....Will let you know how it goes...Off to bed with Rockefeller in hand before too long....And so, good night.
