After weeks of blanketing ash and choking smoke that caused sore throats, today it is raining. A freezing rain which is supposed to be 3-7 inches of snow.
Elliot saw the rain this morning in the master bedroom and exclaimed, “Rain!” while pointing at the window.
I’m lifted him onto the wedding chest so he could peer out at the rain. He was surprised and delighted and excited to see it.
How wonderful to be surprised by something as simple as rain. I forgot that it was like that for me once. But I do remember the joy of snow when I was small.
