Raining On My Parade

Today I'm going off topic from my daily story. It's Friday, and like many people, I've got the weekend on my mind. I had been looking forward to my first ever Baton Rouge St. Patrick's Day Parade for days. I had images of perfect sunny skies and plenty of beads; it looks like mother nature has other plans. Every forecast out there has plenty of rain and slighty chilly temperatures. But I'm planning to soldier on and enjoy myself anyhow. And honestly, I feel like I can't complain. This summer it was supposed to rain on my beautiful outdoor garden wedding. In the end, it was a perfect day --- the rain passed us by and the sun came out with only a few clouds. That was probably my free "good weather pass" for at least the next few years. So bring on the rain.
