Singin' in the Rain

It is a dull, grey, drizzly day here in my corner of the Deep South. I enjoy rain generally, and the bright spot to this rain is that it is helping to knock a lot of the pollen out of the air. The rivulets in the gutters are topped with a film of yellow pine pollen.

Little One likes the song that serves as the title of this post. She has chosen it as her music for an upcoming ice skating competition. It is her "showcase" piece, and tonight we will seek out a yellow raincoat and some rain boots. Boots you ask? Yes, we will get them large enough that we can cut out the soles and cover her ice skates with them. I am not sure if an umbrella will be involved or not, but I think it might be a nice prop to have as long as it doesn't through off her balance or distract her from her routine.

I myself have been singing different tunes of late. I found an obscure album online and purchased it from iTunes. My father had the LP years ago and made a copy for me on cassette. It was quite giddy when I found it and now these songs are once again in my head. If you have an interest in folk music you might want to check it out. Little One was not impressed, but I will still sing in the rain on the drive home tonight.
