« Why I left Old Skibbereen | Main | Sleepless in Seattle »

Soft rain
Like anyone else who lives here, I'm delighted when we get sunny days. After three years in Ireland I've learned to really appreciate any peek of sun.
"Lovely day, isn't it?" people on Skibbereen's Main Street would say.
A nod in reply, and the standard, "Grand altogether." Always returned with a smile on truly pretty days.
With rain, which is most of the time, it goes like this.
"Fierce miserable weather, isn't it?"
"Desperate, like," comes the volley. But no one really cares if it's raining, that's the thing.
So for a few days now we've gotten a good wash in Seattle. This weekend there was a soft, misty rain that really brought me back to West Cork. The kind that makes forty shades of green. It's calming to see it again, even nicer to walk about and let it drizzle upon the skin.
