Between the Storms

I’ve mentioned before that winter is normally our season for storms. It didn’t happen this time. Sadly, San Francisco remained dry and well behind on the annual rainfall. Spring has tried to make up for it. We have had quite a few storms come through already and more are on the way. I can’t complain as I love everything about rain. I love the sound of it on the skylight. I love the smell of wet soil and tree leaves. I even love to walk in it. On Sunday, we were between storms so we went for a walk in McLaren Park.

McLaren Park, at 312 acres, is the second largest in the city. Our favorite area is the reservoir near the top of the hill. It’s a nice walk and we can take time to watch the dogs romping and playing in the water. We were treated to green grasses, colorful flowers, and even a lizard or two, or three.
