Sogginess

This morning I was woken by the tender tap-tapping of the rain on our tin roof. Careful, as if trying not to scare it, I pulled back my gray curtains an inch, and saw, that there was, indeed, water falling outside, and a thick mist clouding up the sky.

I took a breath, closed my eyes, and whispered a prayer/wish that it would stay like this for the entire day. (In Africa, the trend usually consists of RAIN, SUN, RAIN, SUN, all in one day, which is exhausting keeping up with).

And glory be, folks, my wish was heard and the rain has stayed ALL DAY! Seriously, it's so cool. And this is one of those pointless blogs with nothing significant, but I can't help but be pleased with my Malawian weather, which is consenting so affably today, February 10, 2011. And as for the sogginess in my shoes, pant bottoms, hair, I couldn't be more delighted.
