Only a Sprinkle

My lightheartedness is on hold today.

A light rain shower surprised me on my way to work.

Fleeting panic.

I had not used my windshield wipers in the new car I bought eight weeks ago. Sitting in a traffic back-up saved me while I fiddled with the control.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen a puddle, especially one in the shape of a heart. A Carolina Wren bathed and splashed there for a while.

We received .25 inch of rain today.

Stage Four of water the restriction is being planned.

Outdoor watering will be prohibited unless it is life-sustaining.

There will be indoor water rationing. We’ll be monitored on gallons used.

A warm and dry winter is predicted.

Every time I open the faucet, I think about it.

I’m a hand washer.

School children need to continue washing their hands.

Disease is threatening.

Maybe I’m overreacting, but frankly, I’m frightened.

The clouds began to clear before sunset and the breeze cooled us down.

I opened the windows and could hear dry leaves rustling and skipping across the street.

A few minutes later, the sun cast a warm glow,

then soon illuminated the clouds with its bright golden effects.

It sank lower and cast deeper shades.

The weekend will be cool and delightful.

Let’s pray for a predicted storm due next week. We need to be soaked for a few days. With that said, I’ve done enough talking about the weather on Mary’s View. I’m reminding myself that others in this world have suffered, and are now suffering, through far worse disasters.

Good night. Have a great weekend!
