After the rain

A view from a puddle in the alley behind my office building, taken this last evening. This shot has been flipped vertically.

It's been raining almost daily. Last Sunday just past noon, there were few clouds and the sky was mostly blue; just an hour later the rains were pounding at the windows. Good thing J's instincts had kicked in early, and we'd already brought the laundry indoors.

Rainy workday afternoons always make me sluggish. The temperature in the office yesterday felt like it took a several-degrees dip; dark skies outside the windows made it look like 7pm the whole afternoon. Perfect conditions for napping, had to fight really hard to stay awake.

Can't do without those late-afternoon coffee breaks anymore.
