the drive home

We spent the weekend in our hometown. 
Our soggy, rain-drenched hometown. 


And it was just what we needed.


Some time to breathe. 
Some time to study.
Some time to practice.
Some time to play.
Some time to enjoy a town-wide garage sale a town over? Yes, please.


The rain situation there is out of hand. Crops won't be grown this year, basements and houses are flooded, spirits are sullied with each new rain cloud that rolls in threatening to let loose its swollen insides. 

For us who get to leave it all behind after a mere weekend, it is beautiful though.
