Day 5 - 355 -- Peace after a Storm

The day was overcast with loud winds and pouring rain. The day began with an abrupt start with an unexpected outing. Once back home, laundry, cleaning and some small bits of decorating occurred. By supper time, the rain had ended and only errant wind gusts remained. I walked out to pick up supper. It was still low teens Celcius, but the temperature had been several degrees warmer during the afternoon. An abrupt drop in temperatures will freeze up the muddy areas and make ice of the standing water. At present we expect no further snow to speak of before Christmas, so it may be a misted white and green Christmas this year. Predictions have a way of changing regularly, so this may change, too.

The rain sounded pleasant against the house today. It had a soothing sound at times of lessened wind gusts. It brought to mind a peaceful, calming song. I tried to find a few versions that I know of, but had no luck. So, I chose this one by random people with Youtube channels. It is quite well done and had the desired soothing effect for me this evening. Enjoy!
