We walked under 5% to 10% chance-of-rain clouds. When almost to the creek, the halfway point, we felt sprinkles. I persuaded John to go on to the creek with me, and right away urged him to go back home. He dislikes raindrops on his head. Bless his heart, he kept walking with me. Real rain fell from the creek all the way home.
I was wet enough that:
I took off my glasses to see the road.
My eyebrows failed to function.
My shoes squished with each step – wet from the top. John heard the squishy sounds!!
We came in via the laundry room to remove shoes.
I laid clothes out to dry before putting them in the laundry basket.
My hair needed no extra water before the application of shampoo.
John discovered his jacket was water-repellent. I was not wearing a jacket, and I found my skin was as waterproof as it ever was. Thankfully, the camera and phone were not harmed. There is no selfie. If there were one, John would frame it and silently point to it on every cloudy day.

Thank You, God for the new phones with cameras, eh? Oh, and that we do not melt when wet. I would have been tempted to not even bother with shampoo, but then there’s that pesky dust that clings to the trees. Oh look, a patch of sunlight through the clouds here. I shall think of you as I chase it. 😊

10 hours later my top was still wet. I had draped it over the tub. Now it’s on a rack and should be dry enough to join the dry laundry.

Glad you completed your walk and got John to accompany you both ways. I like the way you see humor in all your circumstances.

Sometimes it takes a while for the funny side to appear. My dad used to wait YEARS before he told of things that had happened to him.

Aren’t we glad we don’t melt? Did you sing? as in… I’m singing in the rain. Maybe a dance step in there too.

Golly! I didn’t think to sing. That’s OK, though. I can’t do two things at once. And dance at the same time??? I would never have made it home.

Your 5% to 10% odds seem to have gone up quite a bit there. Well done on both completing the walk anyway.. You must have been quite bedraggled by the end.I hope you enjoyed the rest of your day.

The rest of our day was fairly sunny. We ran errands without jackets.

This was cute Anne … question: did your skin shrink or wrinkle? I’d point at the selfie (had you taken it) when it was cloudy if I was John too. 🙂

I love this one about being all wet. It brought back memories of what Mom used to say when we ran for shelter, “It’s only a shower. You won’t melt.”

Your mother was right that we don’t melt in the rain. We can make an awful mess coming in, though. No true housekeeper would have welcomed the drenched version of us.
