Today is a holiday; it's also pouring down rain outside. Another one of L.A.'s hyped "storm of the year" - only this time, the predictions proved true. The rain started at 2 a.m. and has been pouring down hard since I woke at 6.Six? Six Aye Em? Yes - I had a doctor's appointment this morning at 8:30. So even though it was a holiday, I got up, allowing myself time for weather-related traffic delays, and ventured out into the storm.
The ocean during a storm is always a dramatic sight. The waves were big and foaming, murky brown with stirred up sand from the beach.I got to the medical center ten minutes before my appointment - and the office was closed. I called the number and got a voice mail message saying they were closed for the holiday. Well. Did I enter it wrong in my calendar? What a dummy I am.
Nothing to do but head home, back through the rain, back to a warm and cozy house. Put the coffee on and maybe bake some cookies.
I felt so sorry for this guy, walking on the shoulder in the rain. I hope he has a warm place to go to.
Oh we could use some of your rain! Please send some our way?
ReplyDeleteThe cookies will be all the sweeter for your trouble.
ReplyDeleteBut the rain...oh, that would be nice.
you live in this pretty place? can we come over, rain or no rain?
ReplyDeleteOh, how I miss a good rainstorm. Snow and ice is getting very boring.
ReplyDeleteBut I'll take a cookie, please.
