The Upside of all That Rain

When I moved back to my hometown of Seattle, many people warned me that I wouldn’t be hapy after living in balmy Florida for so long. But I knew what I was doing. For years I’d missed the lush green summers which can only happen as a result of the long, rainy days. When I was growing up my Dad called the state, “rain barrel washington” because almost everyone collected water in big, decorative receptacles. No one had serious water bills and the barrels added a charming touch to homes. I’d missed all that. It’s been eight months since I’ve been back and I love it. It’s good to be home.
