The Day The Rain Came

I walked to work and felt an amazing breeze that genuinely made me grin.  At work I watched as the normal calm sea had waves that crashed over a cement wall in the sea.  The white foam was thrown about in the air after bouncing off the wall and all of this movement caused the few sailboat in the small marina to shift in the bouncy waters that surrounded them.  

I hoped and wished that the dark gray clouds in the not so far off distance would bring an end to the boring weather of pure sunshine that has graced our Year Course for two months. 

And so I took the temperatures like always - the same routine but I could tell it was not going to be a typical day - because this was the day the rain came.

It began to sprinkle as I finished taking temperatures and I walked into the rescue center, dropped my clipboard, turned around, and the rain, in all its crowining glory had finally arrived.

The temperature dropping and that precious smell infusing the air - what a relief.

There is no better relief than the relief that a rain brings.

Do I finally get to bring out my warmer clothes? Is this the beginning of a cooler season? The season we have all been looking forward to and at this point desperately seeking.

Hopefully yes, but for now, for the moment, I am content staring at water droplets fall from the darkly clouded sky over Michmoret
