rain
It rains here. It has been raining for most of January. The other night it was raining hard, the sound of the water splashing and coursing off the eaves ever-present. Today is just drizzle.
Last year I don't think I noticed or cared much about the rain. This year there's either more of it or the city is less of a novelty, so with fewer obvious distractions.
And it is true that when the sky clears, the views of the surrounding mountains and the snow are marvellous. It was like that for one day last week. It almost made up for the other days of rain. Almost.
And it's also true that it's much less rainy in the summer. But just now, that seems a long way away.
UPDATE: Ha! I notice I posted an entry with the same title before. I think that's the first time I've reused the same title word. I knew the day would come when I would accidentally repeat. It's just fitting that now that day's arrived, the word should be "rain."
