October 25

Thanks to my allergies and string of baseball tournaments, Adam and I hadn't taken a walk around the neighborhood in a few months. So after we all finished watching "Happy Gilmore 2" this afternoon, I checked the weather app to be sure there was no rain in the forecast (because the sky was dark with clouds) and off we went.

It was a blessing to be out with my main squeeze, getting some exercise and chit chatting about this and that as we strolled those familiar streets.

And then, every so gradually, little drip-drops began falling from above. And then those little drops became bigger and more frequent drops until they all joined together to create a steady rain. (So much for that lying weather app's claims.) 

By the time we got back home, we were both pretty wet. But we were in good spirits nonetheless; maybe even a little more energized by the rain. 

So for the time together and for some much-needed rainfall to feed the dry earth, I am thankful.
