wet grass......

ok so the grass between the walk and the mailbox was wet as i stepped briskly through to grab the morning newspaper......actually wet grass above what appeared to be soaked ground......the driveway had not yet dried completely......such a hopeful sight after weeks of drought/oppressive temperatures.......i will not have to water this morning.......but i will check on my key plants when i get home from work just to be on the safe side.......last night it was beginning to storm again as i dozed off......after i reset the clock alarm from the first storm that briefly knocked out power.......resetting clocks is like resetting a vcr.......necessary but annoying.......this particular clock is so sensitive that it can jump by 2-3 hours when the hour button is clicked too abruptly.......oy......but this morning, npr news began at exactly 6:30 am...right on cue.......so no harm done by the loss of power......i recall dreaming about getting my middle child off to college......lots of worries about towels and phones and blankets......and stuff for the backpacking trip.......when one worries in dreams it is such a waste of good dreaming time.....must make sure that these things are taken care of pronto so i can go back to my lowstress dream-versions of nonsequetor events and symbols........
