rain-swept
It hasn’t snowed yet but the rain is coming as hard as ever. It was sunny and warm yesterday morning–or warm enough–so I didn’t bother with a heavy jacket and I left my hat at home. I stayed late after work with some of my coworkers, and by the time I was on my way home the rain was coming down pretty hard. Most people were hiding under umbrellas or wearing heavy coats and hurrying their way back home. I tried to hide under my hood at first, but I was pretty much drenched before too long.
But it was still warm and there was a pleasant breeze. I unzipped my hoodie and threw the hood back and walked home with a spring in my step and a smile that probably made me look a little crazy–but nobody was looking at other people.
I was thoroughly drenched when I got home. Lucy saw my smile and said she was glad I still go out in the rain.
