The skies were close this morning. Clouds surrounded the town and droplets fell.
At some points there was a plethora of rain. At others hesitation. The result was a shower to green the plants and water the thirsty soil.
All fine and well!! I didn’t have a car — it’s in the shop. I do have a bike.
So, I dressed for the fifteen minute ride. Wind pants and rain repellent jacket. Back pack with plastic bags inside. An extra pair of clothing.
At my arrival I stepped inside the building door. Drips of water and mud fell on the floor. I stood the bike in the tiled entry. Carefully removing my backpack, I carried it across the floor. In the kitchen I removed the jacket and splash pants. A bit of mud but not bad.
I stepped out of my shoes — one of my socks was wet and a bit muddy. The back tire had also provided a stripe up my back. Sitting on the seat of the bike did not guard me from wetness.
Needless to say, but I will anyway, I was a bit wet. After a quick change I cleaned the kitchen and headed off to work in my office. And all before 9:00 — my usual time to start!
If nothing else, I have gotten exercise this past week! Hammering cement, walking back from deserted cars and riding bicycles. Life may be unexpected, but in it all — it’s good!!
