There is a specific kind of rhythm that takes over when the rain hits the ridge. It’s not the frantic, damp scramble of a city sidewalk; it’s a deliberate, percussive hum against the glass of the enclosed porch. It’s the sound of the world being told to wait. For those of us who live life … Continue reading The Rain on the Ridge: A Staycation Strategy
