October 17, 2005… the first Autumnic rains

Yesterday night, ya3ni Sunday 16th, I was preparing to leave to Beirut from my mountain residency about an hour and 30 minutes away from Beirut. I was packing, as usual, everything I need for my one week travel to our city; it was breezy and cold, with yellow leaves wafting, stacking in the corners, and spinning in the play ground;

There was a full moon, and the eclipse also took place last night; it was a complete Hollywoodish scene, with dark clouds crossing the moon rays and naked trees shivering of both: the gusting wind flow and the cold.

I was on my way to turn my car-motor on, until fine rain droplets started sprinkling on my front window. After few seconds, the rain-fall increased and flooded the entire place. Lightening and thundering, and heavy rain were filling the whole area. I took a while to re-plan my journey; AS you know, the first rain fall is dangerous to drive through. The roads will be very slithery and usually many car accident s take place during such circumstances.

In my nature, I don’t like to ride risks, so I grabbed all my things back and decided to stay at home till next morning hoping the weather will improve instead of forecasts expecting more rain to come.

Last night was wintry in all means. I put my pajamas on and sit beside the window watching both the TV screen inside and the falling rain outside, coz I like these cozy atmospheres as u can imagine. Its my favorite; Its my extreme enjoyment.
