Only happy when it rains?
Well, not *only* happy maybe, but Jola loves this kind of thing.
Which is why when I got up this morning and considered that she was going to need to go out to at least pee, I may as well go whole hog. So I crammed myself into my East German military surplus foul weather gear and, so suited, took her for a slightly abbreviated walk along our normal route.
she was having a grand time leaping in puddles, carrying around wind blown branches and rolling in wet grass. I managed to stay completely dry save for a stray lock of hair, but I wish I had worn a hat to keep the rain out of my eyes. Also now I smell like plastic and my skin is dry and itchy, but this can be easily remedied.
It was fun times! We didn't see anyone else out walking, though the Baptist church on Southwest had taken in evacuees, and some were standing under the overhang there, possibly smoking. There were a few cars out on the roads, though. The creek in the park is overspilling its banks, which was fun to ford. We saw a flock of grackles but no other wildlife. If I take her out again this afternoon, I'll see if my 'all weather' camera is up to the challenge :) And remember to wear a hat.
I quite enjoy this kind of weather too, though I admit to still being a little sleepy. I was up until after four - we had a hurricane party over at a friend's place, though of course it didn't actually start raining until we were leaving ;)
I obviously still have power and internets, and there's no other consequences to date. Wind is mostly from the north, and I only have one teeny north facing window. I will second![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cheez_ball's assessment and say that the storm passed to the east of us, however I did check on the radar. Really, though, it has rained harder here just in the course of a normal storm. I think the main differences are that this is gog to last longer and it is windier. Wooh!
Time to get dressed and find some breakfast. Maybe I'll make pancakes....
