I am sick and tired of seeing ominous rain clouds that don’t amount to any rain. If it wasn’t for the fact that I know that clouds are merely condensed water vapor, I would think they were doing it on purpose! For the past few days, there has been a 20% rain chance. That’s O.K. with me. I won’t expect rain. Then I see what looks to be the beginning of the second great flood above my head and I get all excited!
No rain.
Currently I’m sitting on my back porch looking at a grey sky. I can even feel the cool wind blowing. I’m hoping that having damageable electronics outside will taunt the clouds into raining. We need rain, especially since hurricane season is coming to a close, so we aren’t likely to get much tropical precipitation. Boo.
It rained on Tuesday. From 2:50-3:00. On a related note, elementary dismissal is between 2:50-3:00. I wouldn’t have minded the rain at dismissal, if it hadn’t stopped as soon as the kids got into their cars. All I ended up was wet grass and 14 damp six and seven year olds. When I got home, it began to look and sound very promising: charcoal-colored skies, the wind blowing the trees, at least seven claps of thunder and music in a minor key. Well, maybe not the last one, but all the others!
Rain cloud was just teasing me.
