How lonely it is:
A winter world full of rain,
Rain raining on rain.
— Richard Wright, from “Haiku: The Last Poems of an American Icon”

So did you drive to the Cove and walk the two miles, there? I think you might need some Gortex apparel and boots that are leather and Gortex… you know I am well versed in Rain…(which makes it so green)
Yesterday, we had Fog All Day! Cold all day…the entire state was Sunny and Warm except for us – not even15 miles away it was Sunny and Warm!!! Was tempted to take a ride but then where would we find a bathroom with all the Covid-19 restrictions? Plus those few miles put us in Rural area…

Wondering, were you out in the dark walking in the rain while it turned to snow (while I was in bed simply musing)? if so, maybe the snow came to brighten up your trek….

No, when I was there, it was only rain and more rain. It snowed later in the morning.

Late to the party – trying to catch up but will be at it all day, methinks.
I thought it looked like fireworks, too. And I feel you. Went running in the rain two days ago. Shoes are STILL wet! Warm shower was what was needed right after, lemme tell you
