What notable things happened today?

It rained today. Probably not the most notable thing for the day in the whole world, but it mattered. The rains were gentle and light then loud and thunderous. It was the kind of rain which came in waves, the kind that changes from moment to moment like that of an uncertain life.

The day had been gray from sun up, but it was not clear if the rains would make it. The grass, the trees, the plants wept with joy now that they had water to drink. The lake surface danced with each pelting drop.

Chauncey watched lazily through the rain splattered window from his make-shift throne upon the pillow tops. No birds to chitter after now, just reeds and branches blowing in the wind to entertain him. Sleep came easily to him in this kind of weather.

Sister watched from the bed, wishing her cuddle partner would give her a nuzzle. Things still weren’t right between them, but at least the hissy fits subsided. She stretched her tiny paws out and took up as much space as she could on the king bed.

It rained today. Most notable for the cats.
