I have lots of wishes for this Election Day, but the wish that was granted as soon as I woke up has nothing to do with elections. I wakened to the sound of gentle, steady rain on the roof, and this being our first big rain event of the season, it also signals the end of wildfire danger, for now. Hurray! It seems to have settled in for the day. That should wet everything down nicely.
Tara has never seen rain. She’s watching water drip off the roof onto the ground outside her favorite window, and it rivals birds and butterflies for novelty.
We’ll see how the rest of today goes, especially election results, but it’s off to a good start for me. Now where’s that umbrella? I need to go vote!
Never seen rain. Wow. Let’s hope the rest of the day goes well.
I’m with Eric. Tara has never seen rain? Wow! Hope it didn’t deter voters.
Rain sounds like a very good thing for you. Hopefully, no more fires.
A good rain and a new president. What more could we ask?
Ah, those propositions….
Oh, glad to hear you got rain!
Wasn’t the election fantastic? I thought about California with the Prop 8
business, what a disaster. But a new President is at least a start!!
I’m coming out of my dark summer/fall of 2008 and feeling human again,
so howdy!! And hooray for the new day.
I say, never take an umbrella out of the car.
That’s gospel.
Yay for great election results! And thank goodness for Oregon’s mail-in elections!
