Summer Rain Shawl
As a child, I often dreamed of summer storms, yearning for the refreshing respite they brought to the warm days of my youth.
Growing up in the sun-soaked beauty of northern California, my summers were filled with the excitement of splashing in the sprinkler, leaving brief, wet imprints on the sun-baked concrete. I remember the thrill of racing barefoot across the scorching asphalt to my friend's house, desperately trying to avoid the heat's sting beneath my feet. My mother would cover our windows with dark towels during the day, attempting to keep out the relentless sun. But in my heart, I longed for those cool, drenching summer storms that would refresh and rejuvenate the landscape.
Fast forward to my years living in serene Maine, where the precious summer storms take on a new significance, transforming my perspective on summer entirely. Far from mere invitations to play or seek shelter, these storms offer me an opportunity to pause and be still amidst nature's beauty. After enduring a string of hot, sunny days, my garden gladly welcomes the rain, and I find joy in following their example. I lift my face to the skies and absorb the refreshing droplets as they cascade down, enveloping me in their gentle embrace.
