The rain last Sunday night melted lots of the snow and so now the piles outside are only about half as tall as they were. Tonight when I was walking down to the mailboxes to get my mail, everything looked much smaller. I had the sensation that you have when you go to a place you haven't been to since childhood, and you are amazed at how much smaller it all looks, but actually it's just you who are bigger.
Last week I couldn't see over the top of any of the snow piles, but tonight they only came up to about waist-high. It made the apartment complex seem much smaller, but also more manageable in a way.
I have lived here four months and one week, and I've already had the experience of being a tiny, overwhelmed child and being a grown-up reflecting back on that time.
