Rain


The rain has been going on for a few days now...4 I think, and it was perfect for my mood before the 4th of July holiday began. For no reason, or maybe perhaps because I wasn't happy with the way the Juvenile Detention Center (JDC) project has been turning out, I was in a rough mood on Thursday and Friday. I came up with a solution, and I hope it works, but I'll have to run through the supervisor first.
Anyways, the rain should be here a few days more and now I'm really enjoying listening to the different sounds, and the cold of the rain. The rain has a way of making it lonely for human visitors. Perhaps most people want to keep dry, or consider it gloomy. There is some comfort in the gloomy, if it's considered to be that. So everybody stays away, except the flowers, slugs, flying ants, and a toad which I indulged my biology background with. They cherish the showers a bit more, the water to be a rebirth, their old homes washed away, but also calling them to be in daylight, a winter day in summer.Unfortunately, i think most of them will end up dead. Either from vehicles, bug zappers, or just their natural tendency. Rain, procreate, die. The toad caught me by surprise because it was just massive. He looked comfortable, the way I wanted to be, inside a shoe. I didn't take the photo, btw, but it looks great.
