Ouch Again

I woke up this morning at about five thinking, "Who on earth is taking a shower at this hour of the morning?" No one, I realized when I got up a couple hours later. It was totally dark and raining (the shower noise I had heard). Yesterday was a beautiful warm Sunday. We played music in the backyard and the whole world seemed nice. Today was a cold, dark, wet Monday and I am forced to admit that once again, it is fall here in Portland.

It will rain for the next 9 months.
