Come again another day. The childhood enthusiasm that made us sing that song anticipated something good to do. The exuberance of youth with a game to play. As adults we know we need the rain for some many things that continue our survival; crops, grasses for cattle, even washing dishes and flushing the loo.
In the Garver house the coming of rains signal the beginning of baseball season, and especially tournaments at the beginning of the season. Tournaments mean many games in a few days or a week. Well the rains have disrupted and postponed the first two games of the first tournament and pushed it into the second tournament. With more rain on the horizon, the Exeter Monarch Nine should change their name to the Mudville Nine.
But I'd still rather have the rain so that I may eat.
Here is the view Sam has from his "barracks" overlooking the Port-au-Prince docks.
