I left the office a little early today, 4pm. I was hoping that’d be early enough to beat the worst of the evening traffic, but the rain felt otherwise. I got home a little before 6pm, and by then the rain cleared and it was sunny outside. This is summer in the South. I got home, dropped off my bag, grabbed a draft latte can, and walked over to Freedom Park. It felt oddly blissful, despite the humidity and wet grass. That park is the best part about my neighborhood, so glad that I’m just minutes away from it.
