Rain

Rain has been predicted for a couple of days, but alas, not a drop. However, yesterday afternoon we looked up to see huge drops lashing against our office windows. I opened one large window and let the rain pelt against my face. It felt so good. However, the wind was so strong and the window so large that I couldn’t stand there for long – I didn’t want to get the office floor wet.

The sun shone through it all. In fact, it was more of a squall than anything else. It reminded me of the storms that would blow across Albuquerque on summer afternoons. It would be pouring somewhere, but often not where you were. Later in the afternoon we looked north and saw quite a show of thunder and lightening. As you might imagine, when we got home that evening it didn’t look like it had rained at all. However, there was a bit of humidity in the air. It felt good. This afternoon – ever hopeful – I bought an umbrella. Now I’m prepared. I’m getting tired of one boringly sunny day after another. Let’s have some real weather!
