my favorite sweater and pants. both cream colored. and a black jacket and bag. black shoes too. wrong mix to wear during a rainstorm, the kind that yields horizontal rain. by the time i got home, both my pants and sweater were stained by the wet jacket. so...

after cursing up a storm...i stripped, threw my pants and sweater in the tub and poured laundry soap and bleach into the bath.

it worked. no stains. no bleach stains either.

on the walk home from the bus, before i knew my clothes were stained, i was too taken by the beautiful night sky. the rain had stopped and white fluffy clouds were floating silently by. the occasional star peeked through. and the cherry blossomed trees looked gorgeous against that background. silent beauties just standing there showing themselves off to me on the dark quiet street.

mother nature, you're furiously beautiful with your rain and calmed down scenes. thank you..
