Today was probably one of the weirdest rainy days I've had here. Usually when it rains, it absolutely pours for an hour or so, and then clears up almost immediately. But instead of being normal, today it was just drizzling all day long. It ended up working out for me, because you cannot take pictures in the normal kind of downpour.
However, I did make the mistake of wearing flats today... And I went on some errands and by the end of that hour of getting in and out of the car, and in and out of the stores and to the car, my feet were soaked. I felt like I had trenchfoot, literally. I think my shoes are ruined too, which is sad. Lesson learned: wearing nice flats in the rain gives you trenchfoot and stains your shoes.
Rain here is nice, sometimes. In the summer, when it's 100 degrees Fahrenheit/38 degrees Celsius, the rain is almost welcome relief from the heat, for a short time. Too often, though, it turns into storms. In fact, on Christmas Eve this past year, there was a rainstorm, and it knocked our power out for a solid period of time. That impaired our ability to cook our dinner, play Christmas music as well as have the Christmas tree lights on. It was not the most jolly Christmas Eve, but it turned out just fine once the power came back on.
I hope tomorrow has some sun, though, because I'm dying for it to warm up and be summery again. (How very un-Canadian-like of me.)

I don't know if it is actually that scenic over there, or if your picture taking skills are just that good but...
ReplyDeleteTexas looks sooooooo good right now. I haven't seen such a beautiful rainy day like that since 2010. :(
You're not missing much in Calgary to be honest, we're in that phase of the year where everything is muddy and slushy, and you don't wear white out onto the streets unless you intend on getting it black.
