Flush it all away

Leaving work last night, I could see beads of water dotting my windshield. It had rained and I missed it, I thought. The parking lot was barely wet; I could see little hints of water here and there. But it still made me happy.
And then on the drive home, it started to sprinkle a bit. Enough to occasionally flip my windshield wipers. It rained heavily enough during the night that I could hear the tap of water hitting the metal patio cover. What a lovely sound.
Waking up ths morning, it’s grey and cloudy and cool and there’s a definite feel of moistness and promised precipitation in the air.
The rain is finally back. I’m so glad to see it again. Thus begins the gentle glide into fall and winter, hardly distinguishable from each other in Fresno.
