This afternoon it was drizzling during my back roads country commute.  Passing a weathered and rickety barn, I spied a young raccoon looking out from the hayloft window.  One paw raised in the air, as if it were checking on the rain.   Catching this little scene in the two seconds it took my car to pass was a remarkable funny lighthearted moment.  Just me and the raccoon, watching the rain.
