It’s getting cold. They will appreciate warm items.

It rained today, yesterday, and Saturday here in the San Francisco Bay Area. I’m celebrating, not only because it will help the drought conditions, but because I love the rain.
San Francisco East Bay where I live had rain storms off and on last night and today. I’m happy for the trees. The big Oak in our court needed it. We gave it extra water when we could, but with the drought, it was limited. The wind blew strong enough to lift and scatter wet leaves in our yard.
A great day to read, I finished our reading group selection, Sacre Bleu by Christopher Moore, which I thought was long in the beginning but half way through, I was hooked and appreciated it. We’ll discuss it tomorrow afternoon.
Last week, as I walked to the office in Berkeley, a homeless man chatted with me about not being able to find a job. He wore clean clothes and had short clean hair.
He had wanted to work in an elderly care facility but there were no openings. I suggested if he volunteer at places like that, a paid position might open up for him. He liked that idea, but didn’t want to take a night shift. He worried about being on the streets after dark. He said an acquaintance lets him sleep in his back yard. I forgot to ask him if there is shelter with a roof. I think of him on days like these. I hope he isn’t sleeping out in the open with no cover overhead.
