I have written that we hadn't had rain in about two weeks. That changed last night.
Last Thursday, we went to my aunt's house to celebrate my grandfather's 85th birthday. The party was for family only and was held outdoors. The night was stifling hot and we had a feeling it was going to rain. It didn't. Last night, I needed to get medication so I went to the pharmacy. Because I am lazy, I didn't bother to change and simply put on a jacket on top of my house clothes. I didn't bother using the car because I know I wasn't going to be out long. I just used the motorcycle. As I was driving, the air felt different. The wind was blowing steadily and there were no stars in the sky. I had the same feeling of rain. When I got home, I prepared for bed and was asleep by 10pm. I was awoken at 11pm to the sound of really strong downpour. It felt as if all the rain stored up in the clouds came down at one time. Combined with lightning and thunder, I felt as if it wasn't going to stop. But stop it did, after thirty minutes.
When I woke up this morning, there was still an indication of rain the night before but the sun was out. Up to now, the sun is shining brightly with no hint of dark skies. It's as if last night's rain was a fluke. I have no problem with rain as long as it falls in the night. Mind you, I don't want my exercise time disrupted.
