This has been an exceptionally rainy year for us so far, both literally and metaphorically. Spring was wet and stormy. Summer was grey and cool. And we didn’t even get our usual dry, warm September. Now that it’s October, the rain has returned in earnest. Things have been turbulent at home as well; we’ve had losses, moves, frustrations and general disorder since the beginning of the year. Surprisingly, the kids have handled the frequent squalls and tempests with grace. To them, after all, excessive rain just means more puddles to jump in.
And besides, when the rain does let up, the views are beyond compare.
