So I’m driving to Hutchinson last night to celebrate my mother’s 82nd birthday, squinting my eyes a bit against the glare of the evening sun. And then it starts to rain.
Blue skies to my left. Blue skies to my right. Blue skies in front of me. Blue skies above me…yet it’s raining.
I craned my head over my shoulder and saw some dark clouds to the southwest — and marveled at the wind currents that had to be carrying the rain all the way to where I was.
The rain didn’t last long – just enough to settle a little dust. But I’m sure there were others around western Sedgwick County and eastern Reno County who felt the raindrops, looked up into a sunny sky and wondered what in the world was going on.
