Puddles

They did insist it rained in Key West and it must have done, the evidence was there in the street as I rode through New Town. The air was clear of dust and the light was crisp and extra bright. I liked the look of the city refreshed by rain.We are told temperatures are higher than they should be for the time of year and of course the drought continues unabated but it was lovely to see water lying on the ground evidence that we have not been completely forgotten by the seasons.I feel bad for the mid westerners madly sandbagging their cities against swollen rivers, and the bayou residents in Louisiana losing their homes to planned flooding, while in the Pacific Northwest rain won't stop, but let me say we sure could use some of that water in our parched islands.
