Just in case I missed the rain

I think Washington was jealous that I left it for Texas last month—

—because when my best friend Elizabeth came out for a trip to the San Juan Islands, we were treated to endless rain. That’s okay, though—the San Juans are absolutely gorgeous in any weather.

The place could not be more different than what I saw in West Texas—not the landscape,

not the culture,

not the flora or fauna, either.

What it had in common with the desert, though, was that it made me fall in love in exactly the same way.
