Rain!

I have added Patty Griffin's "Rain" song to my playlist because it is officially that time of the year where dampness and gray saturate the earth of Skagit Valley. They actually become a part of you, digging into your bones. It is quite beautiful if you study the trees, and how droplets ready to burst hang on to the bare branches while moss creeps up the root base of our Akane, Summered, and Bartlett.

We made our Thursday pilgrimage to the Children's Museum. We had fun, especially Gabe who went right for this white lace-patterned hat with silk flowers and heely slip ons. I took some pics and will have to post them, but the camera is in the car. I refuse to go outside into the wet until I have to tonight for Camille's preschool meeting.
It is 3:52 p.m. and it is dark in our house. Nice.
