Rain, Rain Go Away

April Showers bring May Flowers, but what do June Showers bring?

James and Carolyn love to walk through the woods and spend quiet time together, but the rain is interrupting their rendezvous.  By the time Carolyn has her chores finished the woods are too wet to walk in.

Yesterday, Aunt Linda packed a picnic lunch for them. She had no idea they were going to rent a canoe and paddle down the river. Even after all that's happened, Carolyn doesn't fear the Cheat River. Aunt Linda would be livid if she ever found out. The rain poured down on them and soaked through the picnic basket before they had a chance to eat their fried chicken. The couple's lunch was ruined, but not their spirits. They ate as much of the soggy food as they could and fed the rest to the fish.

On returning to Jessup's Bed and Breakfast,  Carolyn showed James the full rain barrel. She talked him into helping her wash her thick, dark hair, explaining to him that there's nothing that makes the hair shine like rain water.

He reached into the barrel and started splashing the water on her. That was not exactly what she had in mind.


James had better be careful. West Virginia girls like to get even.
