Thirst for rain


Today it finally did what it does best in Seattle...it rained. Never having this many raindrops fall since April of this year, I definitely thirsted for rain. With temperatures for days on end in the 80s and 90s making all the local flora lose their characteristic "emerald city" magnificent greens...and sacrificing their parched branches and tendrils that became victims to the most gentle of winds....ah, finally a good soaking that drenched every living thing in relief! From within the warmth of inside, watching the rejuvenation happening outside, the freshness put me in a different sphere of contentment and placed my mind in a perpetual state of contemplation. From that first driblet on the window...to the steamy mist rising from the earth...to the trickle of flowing rivulets...to the puddles that celebrated each new droplet reverberating patterns of solace...the altruistic joys of rain!
ADDENDUM:
From October 2015 to March 2016, we ended up getting 43 inches of rain...normal for this time period is 26 inches! I thirst for rain no more.
