IN NEED OF A LITTLE "RUSH"

It is a rainy day on a goat farm.  In and of itself experiencing such is a DO NEW for me.  And as it is raining I am not NEW DOing much more than that.  I am simply enjoying the quiet time to relax, curl up on the sofa in the study with or without one of the farm cats and read. It's a great not DO MUCH NEW day.  I will write a little, shoot some photos of the ground floor of the farmhouse and try to stay off my computer.  I'll DO a little healing work on me and anyone that needs it and give thanks for this opportunity to be here.  "This moment will not repeat."

Kick back, chill out, recharge.  I have been looking for but haven't found the correct music for this lovely non-repeatable New England moment.  My netbook is void of Tom RUSH, Livingston or James Taylor, Carol King, Joni Mitchell and the like.  I am opting to relax in quiet.  I was singing "Rainy Day Man" out loud earlier in the kitchen.  I stopped to spare the others.  Right now it is so very peaceful and quiet except for the sound of the occasional falling rain.  NICE! 

Some of the others went out for ice cream a little while ago before goat milking starts up again but I don't DO much cow dairy or sugar.  I'll stick with the goat dairy and maybe raid the refrigerator before they get home.  SHHHH.  This kitchen is superb and toasted artesan-made cinnamon bread with garlic chevre is calling to me.  If I was staying much longer it could become an addiction.

So today I am cutting myself some slack and using the wet weather as an excuse, so much so that I am about done writing DO NEWS for today.  Below I am going to post the lyrics to "Rainy Day Man" before a closing remark.  The lyrics will give some design spacing around the photos plus you might like them, especially if you are a New Englander experiencing a rainy day.  Yes copy/paste.  Well I wrote that today was a NOT DO MUCH day.  The dog and cats understand the need for chilling out.  Sometimes I think they have much more sense than humans even if they don't like riding on bumpy roads.

"What good is that happy lie? All you wanted from the start was to cry, girl.
It looks like another fall. Your friends they don't seem to help at all.
Now, when you're feeling kind of cold and small, just look up your rainy day man.
It does you no good to pretend, child. You've made a hole much too big to mend.
And it looks like you lose again, my friend, so go on home and look up your rainy day man.
Now rainy day man, he don't like sunshine,
he don't chase rainbows, he don't need good times, no.
Grey days rolling, then you'll see him, I said empty feeling, Lord now you need him.

  

All those noble thoughts, they just don't belong. You can't hide the truth with a happy song.
And since you knew where you stood all along, just go call up your rainy day man.
Now simple pleasures they all evade you, store-bought treasures, Lord none can save you.
Look for signs to ease the pain, I said ask again, go on and pray for rain.
It looks like another fall. Your good friends they don't seem to help at all.
Now, when you're feeling kind of cold and small, just look up your rainy day man,
all I'm asking just to look up your rainy day man."   RAINY DAY MAN - LYRICS BY JAMES TAYLOR

And that's it.  I am going back to my book.  I want to finish it before I leave on Friday so that I can leave it for Jen to read whenever she can grab some peaceful time.  She likes the author too.  For now my phone is unplugged for the rest of the afternoon.  Don't call, don't speak, say not a word, just "listen to the rhythm of the falling rain."

How are you DOING with the the NEW DO - DO NEW CHALLENGE?
It is never too late to start.

Enjoy ALL your days.  :0)  Savor each moment.
PS:  I think I am remembering how to be a New Englander.  I guess the soul never forgets.  But please don't let me staht drahpin my "r"s.
