Okay, yes, I realize that I'm one of very few who truly love the heavy downpours almost constant in northwest Washington weather, but honestly, it's so beautiful.
I'm sitting at my kitchen table, and I've decided I really enjoy having a skylight in the kitchen. The natural light is incredible, and the sound of the drumming rain is indescribable... such a calm comfort in this fast-paced world. Every glance out the window shows me the brilliant red of the changed tree in front of the porch, and leaves every color of green, yellow and brown floating down through a screen of falling rain.
I was tempted to go to Larrabee state park as I drove home, and I may yet, but I'm honestly enjoying the fire I so successfully stoked up.
The last couple of weeks have been difficult, what with close relationships going sour, the election, overnight freezes, and so on. But this setting allows me to put all that aside, if just for a short period of time, to see the value and glory in all these smaller joys we've been given.
Ah, I'm off to make cookies for college care packages. Much love to you all, dears! As always, thank you for sharing your precious time.
