Blessed Rain

rain’s grace
clouds hiding the sun’s face
beloved fresh air

Seattle’s rain is most welcome.

As Autumn Nears, I Remember Spring

Memories of spring
Rain rippling in puddles
Thinking of sweaters

Today filled with rain, cleansing Seattle’s air of the lingering smoke. Very, very welcome indeed.

Just a few days until autumn. Though I look forward to sweater weather, I dread the greater resistance to spending time outside. Something to overcome.

The air quality in Seattle is supposed to improve dramatically over the next day. And rain is in the forecast both today and tomorrow. Relief approaches!

The Scent Of Rain

​As the sunlight fades
Comforting darkness flows in
With the scent of rain

It’s set to rain overnight and into tomorrow. Many of the Seattleites I know are ready for a bit of cool rain. I know, we’re a weird lot. When everything is green it feels the most like home. 


A rainy Seattle night

summer’s rain
beautiful scent of earth
renewed

Outside I hear a rumble, then the familiar tapping sound of rainfall. I love the scent of rain falling after a hot day.

the gift of friendship
sunlight shines through darkest clouds
this day filled with grace
