Rain nearly all day today. A peaceful, soaking rain that is soooo rare for Colorado. You could literally SEE the grass spears stretching gratefully up to the sky.
It meant we couldn't leave as early for Michigan as we'd planned. This trip around, we decided not to cover the boxes with a tarp -- every single trip, it's ended up flapping in the wind and shredding, no matter how carefully the Brick tied it down.
So... we drive when it doesn't rain. Or not as much. And we have two nights of peaceful sleep, listening to drops on the roof. Lovely.
Update: Both the Brick and I had misgivings about this trip -- due in great part to Covid-19. The Mama is in the highest-risk group. What if she came down with it, after we'd been there? (We don't have it, but it would be easy to peg us as the 'carriers,' regardless.)
Decided not to go, after all. A very difficult decision -- but I'm at peace about it. We will go later, after Michigan's governor lifts their many restrictions.
