After rain

There was a sudden and very unexpected period of rain on Thursday. I can say this because I had checked the weather 900 times dreading the impending heat. When was it going to be here exactly? And was it going to get too hot for me to be comfortable at some point? It's been a couple of hours, let me check again. And check again. And again. So.. I think I'd remember if there was a mention of rain. (There wasn't.)

And yet there I was, in the middle of buckling Noah into his stroller (and about to get Lily out of the car next) when giant drops of water started falling from the sky. Do you know that I actually hoped it wasn't rain for a second? (How disgusting is that?) But just a second.

It couldn't have rained for more than about 20 minutes. Just long enough for us to get wet going into the first store, quickly shop around, get wet again crossing to another store, shop quickly, and stand in line for half a life time. By the time we had come out of the second store, the rain had stopped and the sun was shinning.

Surprisingly, we didn't see any rainbows.. but I love a good after rain sky..
