I’m a rain reveler. Especially since moving to dry Colorado, I savor every drop and flake. A foggy day is like seeing a unicorn. Ah, atmospheric moisture!
I’m also in dry Colorado. Lived here all my life. This week we had a full day of rain--I think it’s been like 10 years since the last time that happened! So long I can hardly remember another true “rainy day.” I’m never sad to get wet! It starts raining, and it makes me want to go out for a walk in it!
For me - it depends on the day and my mood and what I have planned. Sometimes being bundled up prepared and safe is just what I need. But other times saying “weather be damned” and letting the drops run down my face is the best emotional cleansing.
I tend to be the person ready to ignore it - or enjoy it, as the case may be. That sometimes gets me in trouble since I don’t live in the PNW anymore and sudden rain is rarely just sprinkles; I’ve ended up sopping wet a few times
I am an ignore it type generally, as the Newfoundland saying goes 'don't like the weather wait five minutes'. It doesn't always work in St. John's - was there 40 odd years ago when the street lights stayed on for a solid month of heavy fog - great grandfather spent four days becalmed in the fog off the south coast sailing from England to Halifax; I'm now on the best/west coast of Newfoundland. Then again for the hurricane remnants it's generally best to stay indoors away from windows 😊

I’ll be staying in Yaletown on July 17/18. Let’s sneaky draw together, Nishant!
That's wonderful! I will be in Seattle on the 17th, but I should be back on the 18th.
Oh hell. Date mixup. You around on the 16th? Our ship sails into Vancouver harbor at 8am that day.
I'm in Edmonds WA for SketcherFest!
Have pen, will travel, right? Will catch you next time Nishant Industrial Sketching, Inc., visits Colorado.
It's really time I did!
a baseball cap is all I need; maybe soap!

I've become spoiled by the sprinkles. Can barely even remember the torrential rain of India!
I love you work and enjoy your post. I only wish I could use Paypal to get a paid subscription.
