I must admit I am really happy it is raining in Davis. We need it, for sure, but i just like the feel of the rain. It feels comforting, feels like home. Oh, it can bugger off again soon enough for sure (I didn’t move to California to get rained on, I can do that in north London) but it’s nice while it’s here. I did a qucik rainy sketch from the window of the Silo at lunchtime yesterday.

Pete, this captures the spirit. Great sketch.
My favorite part: the reflections of the kids on the sidewalk.
The wet pavement is amazing. I admire your work.
