Rain

Posted on February 12, 2003 in Weather

You didn’t know it, but I was getting impatient for rain.

We’re in our second day of it. The sky waters fall in bursts. A continuous wind sliding off the mountain splashes it against the northeast facing windows.

A house finch huddles inside the plastic window feeder. He’s too high to interest the cats in a constant watch. Poor fellow has cracked every last sunflower seed and waits for his moment to escape the storm.

If I needed a root canal, I’d be in pain. The fistula resides in the gum, so all I suffer is a moderate itch.

Saturday is my birthday. If this weather continues through then, I will accept it as a present.
