I just let snippy out, and I realized it’s a lovely evening. Watching a light mist drift in front of the streetlights and the silhouettes of the bare trees with glowing water halos on their branches, water dripping all around, was quite serene. It was complete silence aside from the occasional “drip, drip” I had the sudden sensation I was back in the 40s with gas lamps. almost like a scene out of It’s a Wonderful Life. I’d be Mary, waiting for my classy fella in a sharp suit and hat to come strolling by in the rain and tip his hat. Maybe even lasso the moon.

I feel better now. My nerves are calmed.
