Drizzling on Clear and Bright Festival

清 明 时 节 雨 纷 纷

As well described by an age old poetic line - drizzling on Clear and Bright Festival - it has been raining all night on this Clear and Bright Festival. On this Saturday at 07:18 a.m., the street appears emptied out. Many tall trees are still nude while shrubs are already ferocious in their best bloom of the year. Usually this street that leads to my home is monochromatic grey and gray in its color. Due to rain, it takes on refreshing lustre albeit gloomy ambience and appearance. However, it will not be too long the small scale businesses attached onto the residential blocks along this street be up and work their trades, adding the usual noise and trash to the street like any other day. According to weather report, the temperature will stay at low teen in day and high single digit at night. Spring jacket is needed if it is windy.
