The deluge of rain on Friday was unrelenting and powerful. When it subsided, I was sure there would be a puddle or two in the neighborhood. After working my relatively typical Friday office work load from home and running carpools to camp, quick errands to the farmers market and the library, I was spent. Needing a quick pick-me-up, I told the kids to get their rain gear on and head out to the porch.
Stunned, the cherubs did as they were told, fearing I would change my mind. Quickly dressed, together we headed outside.
With the creek overflowing, there were more than enough puddles begging us to visit. Giving my blessing to jump at their discretion, they splashed and laughed and skipped through the rain. On our way back, they seemed to be very deep in conversation. “Is that really our Mommy?” asked my youngest.
