They are far more mysterious than that. These clouds are the keepers and killers of dreams because in every dream there must be a rat. Every night when a child slumbers‚ pictures of utopia flash through their heads. Yet‚ a rat of reality always scurries on in to keep the frivolity limited to their beds. The clouds amass over Miss Elaine

My favorite place is sitting on my back porch on an early summer morning. The small concrete back porch sits in the back of my home near the woods and the garden.

The old iron furniture squeaks
