Raindrops & Tangerines

The city has been battered with some crazy rainstorms lately, which I find really exciting as it’s rare we get any interesting weather that allows me to put my weatherproof boots to full use. The only sad part is that I spend most of my day inside, far away from any windows so I miss out on all the heavy rain/hail action. I even asked my boss for a window and all he sent me was this.

I got to experience my own personal storm this morning when I noticed that the tangerines on my parent’s trees were ripe. For some reason, I thought it would be a good idea to pick some for a morning snack, forgetting that shaking a bunch of tree branches after a storm would be a bad idea. Conclusion: I got my hands on a bunch of adorable tangerines and became drenched with leftover raindrops from the leaves. Fun times!

The reward wasn’t that sweet either. My mom only juices these tangerines for a reason: they’re filled with seeds and are so [amazingly] sour. Oh well. So goes the story of my life.
