It started out as such a nice day. I went for a very nice long walk. It was beautiful outside. Birds were happy. People were out gardening. Some were watering the grass. I mean it was very sunny and warm. And also very brown. Everything was just brown. Trees, grass, streets… All one color.

I was thinking how much rain could help out. To freshen everything. To wash away winter’s leftovers. To help me out. I wanted it to rain so I could enjoy a warm but rainy day outside. To see how thirsty land drinks up all that rain. I wanted to sit outside, drink my espresso and watch the world wet away into a rebirth. I love writing when it rains. I love reading when it rains. I love drinking hot coffee on the patio when it rains. I love watching it when it rains. except it doesn’t rain. It snows. Welcome to my life. There is no in between.
