Rain
It's raining here right now. Has been for the last 90 minutes or so. Sometimes hard, sometimes just little spits. But it's lovely.
I spent the morning packing up a kitchen for some friends. They live just down the street and around the corner until Thursday, when they move into a bigger house several blocks away. They have a toddler and a baby who just started crawling this morning--impeccable timing--and no time to get all of the packing done. So I did the good neighbor thing and wandered over to help. Even though they're leaving.
The rain is not a happy thing for them. Currently they're surrounded by boxes (I packed 10-12 of those boxes, thank you very much), and would love to get stuff out of the way so they can tell what still needs to be done, but with the rain, they can't just stick everything out in the yard. So they're trying to organize. I decided at that point that the best thing I could do, having packed much of their kitchen, was to say good-bye and leave them to it. One less body in the way.
I'm kind of itching to do some packing myself here, maybe go through my stuff and see what's ready for the Goodwill pile. Really, there are all sorts of things I could/should be doing right now, but I want to just sit here and enjoy the rain. It's such a comforting sound.
