Breakfast Toast

Rain

Rain crackles on the sidewalks As the thunder bellows and roars. Cars hiss by on the wet streets As fallen leaves soar. Lightning flashes in the clouds As the trees dance in the wind. Chills and goosebumps rise on my arms As the cold rain hits my skin. Birds sing in their havens As rivers form in the parking lot. Blades of grass flinch and twitch As they are pelted by raindrops. Cars sweat and weep buckets As they are left out in the stormy weather. Puddles form in the mud As raindrops splash ripples in them together. The scent of asphalt and rain Fills the cool, humid air As God’s rain calms my restless soul And washes away my despair.

I decided to try something new today for breakfast. I made toast, but instead of putting butter or jam on it, I put a fried egg on it, a little bit of chopped tomato, and some lettuce and kale. The toast with fried egg tasted pretty good, though I wondered if I could’ve added something else to it. I’m glad I tried it out. I also had it with some oatmeal and fruit.

I’ve been working on a couple of other stories lately. I’ve also been reading and listening to other books, like The Hardy Boys by Franklin W. Dixon, The Valley of Fear by Conan Doyle, and a couple of A to Z Mysteries books by Ron Roy. I enjoy mystery stories and I love Sherlock Holmes. The Sherlock books are by far the best mystery books I’ve ever read. The mysteries are unique and I like Watson and Holmes’ friendship. Holmes has a knack for noticing clues that Watson or other detectives overlook, which is one of the reasons he’s such an interesting character. I may write my thoughts on the Valley of Fear in another post once I finish reading it.

Here is a video of me making the toast and fried eggs, along with some photos.
