Walks in the Rain...

Today's best uplifting sight in Putnam was on the River Walk.

Rain has been falling, if not pummeling us all day, along with very high winds, as we catch the tail end of some tropical storm barreling up the coast. Fine. We really need the rain after a very dry summer. Time to replenish. No one was complaining. Yet not a good day for outdoor activities.

As the end of the day arrived, the rain weakened into some big drops, and some drizzle, with occasional dry moments.

As I drove by the River Walk, and elderly lady was walking, with her gigantic ear phones, and an umbrella in hand....just in case. New Englanders like to be prepared. She was strolling along with such an absolute look of contentment on her face.

My hopes are that some day 20+ years from now, someone will drive past me as I am walking those same steps with a big smile on my face.

I am a Putnamaniac thanks to pleasant walks (and walkers) in the rain!
