It rained yesterday. It wasn’t the awesome earth pounding accompanied by crackling thunder, but it still provided that ‘rainy’ feeling.
I woke up Saturday morning with high hopes of heading out to the dropzone, but ended up at the pumpkin patch with Tabitha and Jeremiah. It was so worth it.
That night was homecoming for Kara and Marina. They both looked awesome, of course.
I stayed home that night so I could be there when they got home from the dance. “How was it?” I got the same response I have been getting for years from both of them. Kara, “Awesome!” and then Marina. She doesn’t have to say anything to me, I can still read her facial expressions after 7 school years of dances.
“that good huh?” I’ll ask her for details later.
Sunday I watched Transformers 1 and Ratatouille. I wasn’t sure if my friend from Elementary school, Dewayne was going to be back in town soon enough to take more pictures of his old pictures, so I just hung out and listened to it rain and got some laundry done. As boring as this weekend sounded, it was exactly what I needed.
The rain washed away all that stuff that bugging me.

Rain sometimes helps like that. And it smells good afterward.
We’ve had a lot of rain here recently. I was beginning to think I was growing mould.
But when the rain finally ceased, the day that dawned was …. amazing. Surprising how uplifting that can be.
