I'm Wet

I decided to go out and get my steps on the two trails - pond and wooded between storms. I almost made it home. I had just come off the wooded trail and was headed home when it started to sprinkle. I stopped in the bus shelter for a couple of minutes, but I saw it was getting harder instead of stopping, and my weather app said it would rain for 41 minutes, so I tried dodging raindrops as I hurried home. Fast walk. I'm not soaked. I don't need to change my clothes, but my jacket needs to dry out and my cap is wet. My legs got a bit wet, but nothing that won't dry in a couple of hours. I proved I'm not wicked. I didn't melt in the rain. I'm not made of sugar either, which would have dissolved into nothingness as well. So, I'm good. There was a lone goose on the pond as I passed it and took a few good pictures of him. I stopped to talk to a woman and her dog and saw the other goose as the one in the water joined his/her mate on the pond's edge. I was too far away for those pictures. I found out the woman was from the city I grew up in not far from here and we talked about families we knew. She grew up on the same road as I did, only further down the road into the country. It made for a small world. So, it was an interesting morning and I have all my steps. I also ordered a new pair of shoes before I went out. The ones I have, also new, are uncomfortable, so I'm back to Sketchers and they're the easy slip on type with a bungee closure, which will be good. Okay, that's my wet morning. How's it like by you? Sun, rain, or clouds? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me.

@JudyEv People have white geese on farms, but the wild ones are the Canadian goose pictured in the pond.

I am glad that it was just a rain storm and you didn't have to worry about winds or lightening. We had a beautiful sunny day here, until just before noon, as that was when the heavy humidity arrived. The storms started passing through here around 4pm and are still rolling through now 2 hours later.

It's up around 80 degrees here, but it doesn't feel sticky warm. It was nice you met that lady, who grew up on the same street, where you grew up! I met up with an older school-mate, she was two grades ahead of me. I asked Pam, where are you living? Her reply, "Oh, it's a smaller town, you've probably never heard of Greenville, Mi." I laughed and answered back, "Yes, I know exactly where Greenville is, my son lives in Greenville!"

Well that is good that you don't need a change of clothes, and you didn't melt.! Sounds interesting. Here the sun is out, but it is very windy. Also only in the 50's temperature wise.

Glad you didn't melt. I have been out doing steps with an umbrella before, or trying to beat the raindrops. Dry here today, a bit humid. Temp isn't super warm but it is humid out.
