Since the bin stood alongside a fence, I was also reminded of the fictional character Tom Sawyer who convinced a boy that painting a fence was not tedious work but rather a delightful adventure. As someone who lives where showers fall throughout winter to early spring, I've realized that walks in the gloom of rain can be just as wonder-filled and enjoyable as in sunshine, especially when my sidekick umbrella and imagination come along.

I'll take a rain check.
ReplyDeleteIt is true. A brisk walk in the fresh air always improves my mood. Thank you for sharing your poem.
ReplyDeleteA very nice poem to go with the graffiti sign!
ReplyDeleteInteresting sign, but I'm not sure I want something to come out of a dumpster to play.
ReplyDeleteMost rainy days, I tend to stay indoors. On sunny days I would do what the sign says.
ReplyDeleteWhy do I think of a scary movie when I saw this?

I like the graffiti message and the poem! And the green fence is perfect. Have a happy day!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely a day brightener! Great shot.
ReplyDeleteYOu know I would not have thought of the analogy of Getting out of the Dumps and playing from seeing that Dumpster by the fence. - Very clever thinking and so true.
ReplyDeleteit is a rather friendly message, i suppose. :)
ReplyDeletethat bring back such great childhood memories. to "Come out & Play". ( :
ReplyDeleteFun photos! And when there is no alternative I love walking in the rain.
ReplyDeleteYes childhood memories awakened
ReplyDeleteI remember this poem of yours, Maria, and I love it. My little grandson finds happiness in the softly falling rain, wearing new waterproof boots, hat, and coat. He recklessly plunges into a puddle, splash, and laughs.

Love the poem and the graffiti -- in that particular place and with that degree of wit -- definitely falls on the good side of graffiti! I'm not a huge fan of rainy days, but I will attempt to follow your example (and that of that other famous writer) and ignore reality. Assign we are ever lucky enough to actually get some rain here. We need it so badly, even I will not think of complaining when it comes this year!
