The sky is a pale, flat, one-piece grey outside - no layering or folding of clouds, no ornamentation. Over the trees in the distance, a black bird flutters, large to be seen from here, and nearby a jay darts into one of the low trees just across the street. It is raining, steadily, light enough that you might miss it looking into the distance but heavily enough that you can see it when you try.
The pasture is wet, shades of brown and green; the trees and the moss are wet. It's utterly gorgeous, as it was yesterday when it was pouring rain.
Today is going to be a good day. And then it's the weekend. I'm on after-hours, but I've had only two calls this week, and neither involved a hairy code problem, which is a nice improvement. We've averaged 2-3 calls a week recently, so if I'm having an average week I should be able to get a fair bit done about the house this weekend.
Wish me luck either way. I'm off to see what else awaits today.
