Rain (Wo)man


September 29, 2013

Ravaging my favorite thrift stores. Found a fleece Navajo blanket and lime green dish for the cat, fuzzy socks for my chilly feet, a substitute for a rain slick, since the faux suede coat was the cutest thing in the $1.49 per pound bin. NO luck on finding a pair of slippers. It just means I have to scavenge Fancy Feathers when I get to Port Townsend this week. Darn.

The air is heavy with moisture and everything feels wet, even my jewelry is damp. I failed to bring rain gear but everyone has a special closet for that. It is big enough to lie down in and doubles as a guest room. A night light shines 24 hours a day, a plate of cookies and glass of milk sit next to the door on a bench to comfort you as you peruse the available galoshes, slickers, elastic waistband pants, brimmed hats with a chin band, lined jackets and such. There are 100 words for raincoat in the state of Washington.
