It has not rained in San Francisco yet. It has been three months and nary a drop in sight. the hillsides are golden...completely golden. No trace of life.
There is a puddle though...early in the morning around the corner...thanks to a sprinkler system.
A little boy I know tried to jump his bike over it this morning on his way to school. He didn't quite make it, but as the water splashed a grin brightened his entire face. He doesn't know that yesterday morning I watched him ride through it and that enchanting smiled appeared again.
A boy and a mud puddle. Both are fleeting.

ReplyDeleteCounting days till your here!!!
that was perhaps the most disappointing thing about san francisco for me - i thought it rained frequently (rain is my favorite weather) and while it teases you every now and again, the rain never seems to fall.
