Funny the detail on which our Venn diagrams fully intersect. I have walked under rainng crepe myrtle blooms many times and instantly knew the feeling.

Thanks for reading, Kirk! I love that we have a shared human experience. Crepe Myrtle trees have a distinct drip from other trees, I’ve found…even if you think you can make it, they always seem to find you!
