There are days when the fat rain beats the tent like a snare drum. Sleep is impossible, a distant memory from youth. Beautiful flowers die, and green isn't quite green enough. It turns to olive brown, then black. People don't behave and we can't make them. I hope there is rest when it's all said and done.
