a good rain

Even if it's during turkey season when you only get six weeks, a good rain feels like the kind of gift you need. Everyone needs a day like this under a tin roof but at some point we're going to have to make a film about honey bees.



What do honey bees do when it rains?


Today I am grateful for a project. Plus, in our book we've been introduced to John Grady, Rawlins and Blevins.



This book and these characters and 2011 Tumblr and 2013 Medium. Yeah. Though Blevins has already been introduced, page 48 tells us who he is and I think we fall in love with the kid.

"He pitched it up underhanded. It rose spinning in the air, very small against the blue. They watched it waiting for him to shoot. Then he shot. The billfold jerked sideways off across the landscape and opened out and fell twisting to the ground like a broken bird."

He gets Rawlins' respect.
