Something I Really Like

Hanging up my laundry on the line outside, after carefully wiping the lines with a damp rag to make sure all the gunk is removed, and after making sure I’m using my own clean, not-hung-outside-in-all-the-gunk clothes pegs, and after being almost finished, only to feel drops of rain. Then I look up at the bright, shining sun and see maybe one or two clouds. Then I feel more rain drops. Then I look up at the bright, shining sun and see maybe one or two clouds. Then I feel even more rain drops. Then I give up and take the clothes in.

But, at least I felt the rain now, rather than hours later when my laundry was nearly dry only to be soaked again.
