Written for the Lancer Writer’s ’28 Days of Rain’ Challenge’
Thank you to Sprite challenge for the idea.
Teresa
‘I don’t know how much longer I can take this. If I have to mop the floor again today, I’m going to scream.’
Scott
‘I wish it would snow already. Murdoch says it rarely snows here but I don’t know how much more rain I can stand.’
Murdoch
‘Thank you lord. Keep it coming. We need all we can get.’
Johnny
Murdoch and Scott started when Johnny strode through the great room with his saddle bags over his shoulder, only stopping long enough to shrug on his slicker.
“Just where are you going brother?” Scott asked.
“South.” Johnny replied as he walked out the door.

Good story. I feel like joining Johnny. It’s been a very wet winter here in the south west of England.

Hi Tina,
I know what you mean! I’ve become a ‘snowbird’ – someone who avoids cold, snow, and rain in the winter. Here in the US that means heading south. I’m currently in southern Oregon just 5 miles north of the border with Mexico.
Thank you for reading and commenting.
