1. Fall officially begins.
2. Full moon
3. rain
significance? Unknown, although it seems rain in fall, after a summer of rain, seems redundant and less than celebratory. by nature, rain is damp.
last night hauling groceries from the truck to the house I thought the rain was particularly wet. each rain drop saturating a bit more of my shirt than usual. was this because the atmosphere was already stewing in dampness and the dry cloth of my shirt attracted wetness like a sponge? absorbing not only the rain drop but the atmospheric moistness around it? or was the molecular structure of the rain drop somewhat looser than it would be had it been a dry hot day?
it was/ is a sloppy rain, a continous drip/mist that is predicted to go on all day. 1-4 inches of rain in our part of the world. flash floods possible.
driving home in the rain, rain falling on hard tar surfaces and staying there, I decided the truck might need new tires before winter and snow. or I need to learn to drive in slippery conditions once again.
