More Rain

At a certain point, one moves into the frame of mind that long stretches of enspiriting weather are inconceivable. That life is mostly clouds and rain, with brief interludes of blue skies merely for contrast and temporary respite.

That's not the case, of course. Summer comes. Somehow.

ADDENDUM:
For a while, some distant hue has been lingering in the direction from which the weather comes. It's been difficult to tell whether it's blue or the darker gray of inclement weather. More and more, though, it's looking like a break in the clouds, rather than a deepening of them.

ADDENDUM II:
It was blue. The sun is shining — as it always is beyond the clouds.
