Since the forecast for the next six days includes
rain, I’ll have plenty of time to study the shape of raindrops. Hint: the
picture to the right is not upside down.
The true shape of rain is just one in a deluge of facts
on the subject read for this week’s challenge – a book about nature.
From human migration, to rain in religion, the
origin of weather reports and keeping dry, Rain:
A Natural and Cultural History by Cynthia Barnett includes story after
story that will hydrate your small talk for weeks.
It also inspired me to reminisce about my favorite meteorologist
and check out a new blog.
And it may even compel me to set aside the books on
our next long weekend and make the four-hour drive here to marvel at its fertility rather than grumble at its nuisance.
