I Like the Rain
TagFest: Weather
After many dry days we're finally getting rain here in the Bay Area. I'm glad it was dripping on me as I left my car yesterday morning because I remembered to tuck my umbrella in my bag. I sure needed it at night. It was raining hard enough in the City to need it just for the walk from my office to the station. Once I arrived in the East Bay it was really coming down. The wind was blowing but not hard enough that I had to choose between fighting it or getting wet. My new Rick Steeves umbrella survived.
I like rainy days a lot. Granted, I live a life inside. (My time out of doors can be counted in the minutes, usually less than 30.) There's something about the sound and the light and the smell that speaks to something inside me. Sunny days get tedious around here, even when there are clouds or fog in the sky.
After checking with my WeatherBug gadget, I see rain is predicted for the next three days. Woo hoo!
I, too, love rain and rainy days. Of course we won't see any for some months around here. We are getting some snow now and more on the way. At least the windchills are not in the -10s and -20s anymore.
ReplyDeleteI left my umbrella at work the other day by accident. I only got a little wet. Luckily I had been able to park close to the station and didn't have to walk far to my car.
