As I write this, there is a glimmer of sunshine peeking through the rain clouds. I know it won’t last long. I am contemplating putting this post aside and instead rushing outside for some Vitamin D. I love living in Olympia and the Pacific Northwest winters are far better than the downpour of snow in Boston, but sometimes I just yearn for a day or two (in a row, please Mother Nature) of 75 degree sunshine with blue skies. I return now to my appreciation for rain that makes us green.
