pink blossoms by the lake

I see these trees and wonder for eleven months of the year, “who decided to plant these boring, bare trees? They don’t even have leaves.” But then I see this explosion of pink blossoms each year and rejoice at the sight. The are definitely worth the wait. I have come to embrace this celebration of life and their short season of beauty.

rain clouds over the lake

It rained for a few days. It was fine except for one time I wanted to go out on an adventure. It was Friday afternoon and my plan was to go to S.F. Unfortunately I was soaked within a few minutes of leaving the house. The wind blew water at me and the easy-to-carry-in-my-bag umbrella I chose to bring kept blowing inside out. I thought I would be fine in my leather boots rather than my Tretorn rain boots and even my socks got wet. I suppose if one has good rain gear, then one should use it. I ended up hiding in Whole Foods, having not made it downtown or to a movie theatre or any other cool place to hang out sans child. At least they have sticky buns and hot drinks. ^_^
