Drumming

Posted on December 8, 2007 in Weather

Last night, I lingered a bit in the loft listening to the rain drumming on the skylight. Woke late this morning. Rainy days are good for this. Friend of mine woke me up to talk about how another woman upset her with her rudeness. Commiserated and then rubbed the sleep out of my eyes, showered, and discovered that the battery in my blood sugar checker had died. Our stores of batteries had lost their charge, so Lynn added getting more as one of the things she had to get while she was out running her errands. In the meantime, I walked, barefooted, out in the rain, to get a carton of Coke from the truck.

The rain keeps coming, legion upon legion. Yet the local creek hasn’t risen much yet. The webcam shows cola-colored water, short plateaus of rock, and raindrops on the lens.
