Tuesday, July 3 . . . Rain

Today, I come up with some activities for the kids at the local camp to do on Thursday. I look out the window, and I see the water is as still as glass. The sun is setting, however there is no water in the east so I look out on the cliffs and valley to see the sun go down through the clouds. It’s a brilliant pink and orange color that lights up all the clouds, except the ones in the far distance. Dark, black clouds tower over the citrus colors. The water is disturbed as it begins to rain harder and harder. I step outside and if I listen closely I can hear the water hitting each wave of the ocean. I go back inside before I get too wet, and I spend the night listening to the pitter-patter on the roof above me, eventually soothing me to sleep.
