November 21

After nearly two weeks of terrible air quality, it finally rained today. I heard it pitter-pattering on the roof before I got out of bed this morning, and it continued to fall on and off all day long.

In the early afternoon, Adam and I took a walk (and got rained on, of course) and were treated to more than a few of these:

They were so plentiful and so bright that it almost felt like we were back on Kaua'i (which is never a bad thing. At least it's not until you realize you're not actually on Kaua'i. Then it's just a bummer). But beyond that, they were all beautiful reminders of one of God's promises to us. And those reminders are always good things.
