Quickly, On A Wednesday

It's raining here. Pouring, actually. And I just heard thunder. And I'm so giddy about it that I can hardly stand to be just sitting here at my desk. Completely unable to concentrate on anything. Except the sound of the drops hitting the skylight. And how my kindergarten teacher used to make us all popcorn and hot chocolate on rainy days. And we would throw blankets over tables to make forts, crawl in, and enjoy.

Also, for some reason, I am thinking about these leaves.
