colors...

Driving to work today I realized : 1. that I am officially commuting to work, 2. that the windshield wipers in my car are much more efficient than the one's on my mom's car, and 3. that the rain is extraordinarily beautiful. The sky was grey and the birds were gathering so each flock that flew overhead looked suspiciously ominous, singular black spots flying together in one large group. The grass and the trees seemed to breathe with the wind as they digested the moisture falling from the sky. But, in all it's beauty, the rain will never have one thing that sunny days do. That one missing thing, is color. The leaves are changing, and on such an overcast day their colors were dim. The normally bright reds and oranges seemed almost brown. The only solution for this problem is to turn on the sun when it's raining. Can't you imagine walking down the street on a nice sunny day with the rain pouring down? Or puddle jumping the rain? It sounds like fun to me.
