Playful storm

The rain that greeted us today was playful at times. Towards the beginning the rain that gathered seemed to call us into the humidity with a wistfulness to not be alone. The drops glided around us glad to have us in their midst. The weather’s friendliness, all playful, then growing into full out assault of rain, thunder and wind that chased us through streets. Small streams new to roads dry a few hours ago flow with force through curbsides and shoes to find gutters and drains then to call home. The crescendo not reached but our run done, we laughing and jumping into puddles to further wet each other. Home and smiling, the first real wet fun run of the year behind us.
