Gratitude Monday: The rains came

All last week we here in the District They Call Columbia had temperatures approaching triple digits, with the heat index well over that mark. So when we got rain—chucking it down in sheets and blankets rain—on Saturday, I was so happy.

(We got more yesterday, including a couple of spates of deluges so powerful, I actually got up to check that the windows weren't leaking. But, hey—windows held and the power stayed on, so it's all good.)

Happy in general, but also because with that kind of rain I didn’t have to don anti-mosquito gear to go out to water my garden.

Hard luck on the mosquitos—they’ll have to find another aedes buffet. But I’ve certainly enjoyed sitting in my livingroom watching it pour.
