Rain Run

It's raining!

Approximately an hour ago, Josh and I decided to walk to Half Price Books and take a look around.  Upon stepping outside, I observed the cloudy sky and suggested the possibility of rain.  Josh didn't seem very concerned, so we set out toward our favorite book store, hand in hand, smiles on faces.  On the way, we noticed a broken off table leg that would have made a pretty good vampire stake.  We also saw a nice lady drive by who seemed very content with her ice cream cone.  After crossing the always busy Lamar, we made it safely to the Half Price parking lot.  After browsing books for quite awhile, the first sound of thunder came.  At first, I think we both ignored it.  Then, when it came again, we reckoned it was time to depart.  Luckily, we didn't make any purchases because I fear they would have ended up becoming quite damp.  As soon as we stepped foot back into the parking lot, a lightning bolt lit up the sky.  We sped up our walking.  Then, as we recrossed Lamar, I felt the first drop.  Before we knew it, more drops came.  We began running and, as the rain fell harder and harder, we didn't stop until we made it to our door.  Now we are home and my little garden is getting a nice drink.  I enjoy running in the rain.
