How to make it rain

Today promised to be sunny and pleasant without oppressive humidity, so I thought I’d do a load of laundry and hang it out on the deck lines.

This act, I have come to believe, is a bona fide rain dance. Similar to watering the lawn or washing the car. As soon as the laundry was hung, the clouds moved in and the breezes picked up. Thunder is rattling in the distance. The fog rolled in, too.

You almost get the impression sometimes that there is a Mount Olympus where feisty gods live to pull strings for their amusement.

Your post made me laugh.  I have noticed that phenomena many times.  Not a cloud in the sky - until.....

The rain held off, though the fog made things a little difficult. This happens entirely too often to be merely coincidence… ;)

Loki the trickster. Was that who was lurking in the shrubbery? Devilish fellow.

Still, they’d have to be pretty bored gods if their entertainment is to make it rain on laundry.

Going on vacation is another one! It also seems to make people get stomach bugs, ugh.

Well, Pablo, it only takes one bored god out of a slew of them to make laundry mischief.  wink

J, you sound as if you’re having a really fun summer!
