This has been the week of major change. First, the “cold front” dropping temps from 105 to a nice, cool 95. Amazing how previous experience changes perspective.
Last night, we got some rain….it has been weeks since we have had rain. The ground is hard and cracked. Several days, we have had dark, heavy clouds overhead, only to have the rain fall south of us.
Although this rain will make it hot a muggy, there is a sense of renewal after a rain. The grass greens…life begins, again.
I didn’t run yesterday morning so was determined to do run today. Unfortunately, the clouds opened up 5 minutes into our run. Whippets are great in SOOOooo many ways, but they really do have a phobia about getting wet. (I have heard that it is something about the Great Ancestor that did melt in the rain. Myth of reality? You decide.) Since the dogs were stopping to shake off moisture every 15 seconds, we turned around and jogged (kind of….given the frequent shake breaks) back home. Hudi and Mati looked miserable. Charlie and Gabi immediately started using the furniture and towels. Oh, well. It’s good rain.
Forecasts suggest that we may get rain this evening as well. A good thing. A very good thing.
