Remember when we all loved to play in the rain?
dievca just looks like a drowned rat.
(her back wheel popped, she’s covered in the rain poncho w/a backpack, etc.)
Poncho as a kite ~ cycling in NYC

dievca was trying to hustle to PT (Physical Therapy) on her bike. The remnants of Hurricane Ian drifted past NYC to create a surge of wind and rain. It just happened to be directly against dievca’s cycling path and she was wearing a Hunter Rain Poncho — no, actually she was wearing a kite to catch the wind. No matter how dievca tried to grab it, the poncho filled with wind. It was a long slow slog.
This young lady (above) was very happy – dievca was very unhappy.

With hey, ho, the wind and the rain,
A foolish thing was but a toy,
For the rain it raineth every day …

Damien Hirst Umbrella (black) – Limited Issue to holders of The Currency – HENI. |
There are a few versions and variations of this rhyming couplet. The most common modern version is:
Rain, rain, go away,
Come again another day.
Origins
Similar rhymes can be found in many societies, including ancient Greece and ancient Rome. The modern English language rhyme can be dated to at least the 17th century when James Howell in his collection of proverbs noted:
Rain rain go to Spain: fair weather come again.
A version very similar to the modern version was noted by John Aubrey in 1687 as used by “little children” to “charm away the Rain…”:
Rain Rain go away,
Come again on Saturday.
A wide variety of alternatives have been recorded including: “Midsummer day”, “washing day”, “Christmas Day” and “Martha’s wedding day”.
In the mid-19th century James Orchard Halliwell collected and published the version:
Rain, rain, go away
Come again another day
Little Arthur wants to play.
In a book from the late 19th century, the lyrics are as follows:
Rain, Rain,
Go away;
Come again,
April day;
Little Johnny wants to play.

Blow, blow, thou winter wind,
Thou art not so unkind
As man’s ingratitude;
Thy tooth is not so keen,
Because thou art not seen,
Although thy breath be rude.
Heigh-ho! sing, heigh-ho! unto the green holly:
Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly:
Then, heigh-ho, the holly!
This life is most jolly.
Freeze, freeze, thou bitter sky,
That dost not bite so nigh
As benefits forgot:
Though thou the waters warp,
Thy sting is not so sharp
As friend remembered not.
Heigh-ho! sing, heigh-ho! unto the green holly…

to the West Coast. Rain in Sedona, AZ – Taos, NM – Albuquerque, NM – Flagstaff, AZ squirted dievca back to the West Coast. Maybe dievca is a “rainmaker”. Those rains were mostly good soaking rains (except for Flagstaff), not enough to help with the drought, but better than nothing.
This afternoon should offer some sun. Stay cool, stay dry! XO

(of a remark, opinion, or idea) overused and consequently of little import; lacking originality or freshness.
dievca ended up in a Mall after that Beach Memorial Mass. There wasn’t much creativity offered from any of the retailers (H&M, Aritzia, Uniqlo, Lululemon, Brooks Brothers, Zara, Kate Spade, Coach, Muji, Sephora).
dievca was bored – though Banana Republic offered this ramie peasant top dress in green. Something with pockets and short is always welcome to dievca’s closet. she was befuddled by the sizing in the stores – sometimes she needed a large, other times a small…strange. 
Note: An Honorable Mention award should be given to the H&M LemLem collaboration’s Lyocell-blend Kaftan Dress. The dress is sold out online and dievca didn’t get to try it on (H&M is not allowing people to use the dressing rooms) and the line to purchase items was very long. she got out of there fast~
Has anyone else had a Mall experience? Maybe something more exciting and successful than dievca’s ride?

Outfit for an Art Outing
Posted: December 1, 2020 Filed under: Accessories, Clothing, D/s Relationship | Tags: Anniversary, BDSM, D/s, dievca, Dominant, fashion, Master, Metropolitan Museum, NYC, Presentation Outfit, Rain, submissive Leave a commentAs an Anniversary Celebration, Master took dievca to the Metropolitan Museum to see the Costume Institute’s About Time: Fashion and Duration.
Due to COVID, rain, and it being “Member Mondays” – the Museum was amazing in its emptiness. It was a rare pleasure to wander and absorb the Art in a very leisurely manner. Something dievca and Master may never experience, again.
Another post will be coming about the offerings from the Exhibition – this blog post is about what dievca wore:

Seen on the way:
- One sad male young adult in cotton shorts and t-shirt soaked
- One fit female runner in matching bra and leggings with pink Beat headphones
- One millennial dog owner with a Husky mix the female runner kept admiring
- Four soaked Navy Corpsmen in shorts and masks running back to the USNS Comfort
- One dievca always prepared in a huge raincoat.

What do you wear for Civic Duty?
Posted: November 7, 2018 Filed under: Accessories, Clothing, Fashion | Tags: Autumn, BDSM, Civic Responsibility, D/s, dievca, fashion, Footwear, Life, NYC, Presentation Outfits, Rain, submissive 4 CommentsSo, dievca got placed on the Grand Jury on Monday, Voted on Tuesday, back to Jury Duty – Weds. Clothes had to be comfortable for sitting around, but be able to walk the neighborhood to the polls, plus last through a concert…
What did she wear?
Jury Selection – train downtown, rain 50’s (10+ Celsius)
Voting – In the neighborhood, Thunderstorms, 60’s (15+ Celsius) also needs to be used for a concert in the evening – retro feel is good. fits right in (bought the tickets for Master’s B-day, but he’s traveling – one of His kids had a baby, going with the friend who suggested the band to dievca in the first place.)
1st day of sitting on a Jury – bike ride, upper 50’s (13+ Celsius)

Peaceful Warrior Tee Shirt
It’s coming up…dievca’s House:
Pretty true, but dievca doesn’t hate to be alone. she does hate to get wet in the rain and this Vetements Unisex Over-sized Zodiac Raincoat goes over her backpack easily and isn’t as heavy as her Stutterheim Raincoat. Now that she has moved, her risk of being hit by a Truck while biking has lessened.
This is true:

The best thing one can do when it’s raining is to let it rain.
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
The Black and Orange are work horses, used over top other coats on the bike.
The Gold is for Summer.
The Brown is lined in wool and is for Autumn.
The Green is for Spring.
So how do we finagle an explanation to add another raincoat to the collection?

It started early,

it kept going,
I’m not sure if it ended.
I do know,
that I’m not the only one having a day.
Let’s try this again, folks.

spritzed
Posted: March 8, 2017 Filed under: D/s Relationship, Home and Garden | Tags: BDSM, D/s, dievca, Dominant, Life, Master, NYC, Rain, Relationships, submissive, Weather 4 CommentsA Saturday, late in February.
High of 61 F (16 C), sunny — while dievca worked all day.
As she rode home, the clouds rolled in.
The wind was rattling the front door to the apartment, so dievca closed the windows – even through the clean, crisp smell was lovely.
Lightning, Thunder!
Torrential down pour, with sideways sheets of rain.
Text to Master:
“When the bathroom window is cracked open
and you are getting spritzed on the toilet…
you know it’s a wild, wonderful storm!”
Apparently, dievca missed one window and got a little wet, while her Master got drenched in the storm.
Addendum 03/08/2017 — leaving for work at 5:45 am, the doorman said it was just drizzling…sideways squalls, having to walk the bike two avenues west because of the wind and ending up completely drenched at work 20 minutes later….dievca isn’t feeling too fond of wild wonderful storms….

Humidity so thick you could cut it
Heat Index running in the red
Out of the shower and soaked in sweat
It’s a doozy of a day.
There is a breeze, it doesn’t do much
If we were at the beach it would be lovely
We’re not
A set of clouds roll in.
The temperature doesn’t drop with the clouds hiding the sun.
But, it happens
Redemption
A Summer Heat shower
The Heat Advisory is cut
The Air Quality Alert drops
For just a moment
Then the relentless heat builds, again
