Tap, tap, tap

We were in bed the other morning, at about one thirty, and heard this tapping coming from somewhere in the bedroom. But, where, and what was it?

Rain. It was pouring down rain outside. We had the bedroom window open, as usual, and the rain was so strong, and, at the perfect angle, to come in through the screen. It was tapping on the sill, on the inside of the window.

When I got up to close the window, it is on my side of the bed, I noticed that the “curtain”, a lightweight, but dark green blanket, was soaking wet. Damn.

Window closed.

Back to bed. Back to sleep.

Later, after we got up, I reopened the window, and, the sun was shining. I knew it would not take long for the blanket to dry, so, I left it. And, as it is raining more often than not, why bother with it? And, as we leave the windows open almost 24/7, it is bound to get wet again.

Stay happy, stay healthy, stay safe. Wash your hands, cover your mouth, and protect your loved ones.
