Sometimes the rain stops

puddlesharkMonday & Tuesday, the weather was grim. The winds too wild for walking in the forest. The commute to work and the commute home made with the sky black, and the rain hammering down and the roads running with water: and only the red of the traffic lights providing any light and cheer.
Days sat in work with the gale howling, and the rain running down the windows in cataracts. Someone emptying a bottomless bucket over the world.

But today, finally, the storm blew over, and I was able to take my morning walk around the forest before work. Black pines silhouetted against moonlit cloud, and the just-past-full moon coming and going among the pine branches, very beautiful. The sandy tracks barred with moonlight and moonshadow. Overhead Betelgeuse and Aldebaran being outclassed and out-oranged by Mars.
Another walk, from work, during my lunch hour, into town and back. Not for any reason. No purchases to make. Just to say I'd seen the sun.
