Last semester, I never used motorized transport to get to campus.
Yesterday and today I did. On both mornings, it poured and so Ingrid drove me to College and Bancroft, on the south side of campus. Even with an umbrella, the half mile walk across campus was a challenge. This morning, the wind was blowing the rain sideways and my legs got soaked.
There's good news. We need the rain to offset the risk of drought. Also these storms are intense but intermittent. Each day, we've also had dry periods and have even seen a bit of clear sky.
With weather like this, sundials are not of much use, except maybe to reflect an image of the Campanile.
Strawberry Creek is running full and muddy! And salmon-colored rain boots are cute!

of course you found a new way to showcase the campanile (sp). but i have never ever heard you use the word cute!
"cute" struck me as unusual too. And noticing and getting excited by things like the color of someone's clothing... I must be rubbing off on you.
I kind of like the rain in some ways. While at the exact same time feeling exasperated by it. I guess all things that have a deeper kind of meaning evoke multiple, contradictory feelings.
