After the rain...
In Santa Cruz, winter is the season of raining.
Actually, I do not like the raining days here. The reason is that cars make louder wheel rolling sounds while driving on the wet road surface, and the window of my room is close to the road. So, the raining days are the hard time for sleeping.
However, there are some other reasons that I like the raining days. The ground will put on a green dress, and the air will be not so dry and be fresher. Even though the sky still wears a grey veil and the temperture is low, my mood is contented. 🙂
