5 April 2006Wetter, wetter, wetterIf last year's rain-barrage was meticulous yet good-natured, this year it has been uneven and short-tempered. All through yesterday, the rains fell at nary the slightest excuse of cloud cover -- tempestuously, noisily and quickly. Feet placed where street-corners meet sidewalks would nearly be chopped off by the ferocious passage of water down-slope; pines -- green-enriched -- under the constant scrutiny of innumerable celestial sojourners threaten to droop like moustaches; the mountains to the north are etched out of the landscape by a steadily thickening colloid of grey and white. It warms many hearts to think that the rains here in the plains are the flurries of snow atop those mountains -- they that may yet bear on them a hoary likeness of the wet winter into spring. |
