I was starting to really grumble about how little rain Eugene got this winter, when the weather decided to humor me.
It's been raining for four days.
Unfortunately I was terribly sick on Sunday, in bed trying to recover on Monday, and indoors catching up on schoolwork yesterday. But today despite an obnoxiously stuffed up nose I am back out and about and I can go dancing in the rain.
I understand why people splash in puddles now, because when you live somewhere that it never rains it is amazing to see little pools of water all over the damn place. Splish! Splash! Little rivers along the edges of the sidewalks. I was singing a ditty about the rain this morning when my roommate got in and gave me a funny look.
I've been thinking lately about spending some time in Seattle. I hear it actually rains a lot instead of just being cloudy all the time, but the weather changes daily because it's on the sound.
In Portland it would never rain for four days straight; Eugene just rolls differently. So all bets are off whether this might continue for a few days longer. I think a week or two would be a nice length.
