More on Rain

If you have read the comment on yesterday's posting, you'll see one made by Mary Jane, who lives in Reno. She reminded me that rain can be positive and I have to agree, though reluctantly. I remember what it was like in Cyprus when, after 4 or 5 months, we had the first rain of the winter. It was an uplifting, enlivening event. Though I have never seen it, when it rains in the desert, the world comes alive. However, the unrelenting rain and heavy, rain burdened skies of the last few days have not been at all uplifting, at least not for me. And I'm still left with the vision of Heathcliff in Tenerife.

It seems to have stopped raining here. We had rain for seven days in a row. Total accumulation was about half an inch. Yes, that was the total for the seven days of rainfall. It seems like it was a mere sprinkle per day. It felt like more.

May the rain there stop soon. I envision constant rain there rather than our slight dampening. I like your references to Heathcliff.

Here's to sunny days....soon...love mj
