Poem for Tuesday and Aquarium Animals

Rain-Songs 
By Paul Laurence Dunbar 

The rain streams down like harp-strings from the sky; 
The wind, that world-old harpist, sitteth by; 
And ever as he sings his low refrain, 
He plays upon the harp-strings of the rain.

Tuesday was more rainy than Monday, but again not as rainy as forecast, and we got to walk along the stream in the neighborhood in sunshine as well as see ducklings and turtles in the lake. Otherwise, I spent the morning putting away the rest of the things we took out of storage except one box that's entirely my husband's, and watched Voyager with my Tuesday group -- "Unimatrix Zero" (mostly okay characterization, mediocre effects and makeup). 

Before dinner, we watched the first two episodes of The Acolyte long distance with Cheryl. I really liked it: it's set in an era I know absolutely nothing about (not sure how much canon there is beyond comics), it has familiar Star Wars elements without feeling like it's just recycling, and it has several young actresses I really like. Then we watched Dark Matter, which remains excellent and emotionally incisive. From the Seattle Aquarium:
