What Comes Down . . . Comes Down!

Enjoy this little diddy while I explain why I love the rain.


A picture’s worth a thousand words. 
Or in some cases four.  And in this case the four words are:
I LOVE THE RAIN.
Ironically, most people around me are complaining that it is raining and it is June.  But me… I am loving it. 
I recently realized a fear of mine.  The fear of the last rain.  You never know when the last rain is going to be and the hot Hot HOT season starts and doesn’t let up.  Some might think it is silly to have this fear but to each their own.  It isn’t like I said it was my greatest fear.
So what do I love about the rain.  Um, everything!
And since it encompasses all your senses, that is how I am going to break this down. 
Sight: I love the big dark clouds that come with a good rainstorm. I love watching the rain pound on the street, watching it bounce back up.
Smell: I love the smell as it first starts to rain.  If at all possible I run outside when it first starts raining and take a big whiff.
Hearing: If I wake up and hear the swooshing of the cars driving through the rain, I wake up smiling. If I wake up and hear the rain hit hitting the window, it’s going to be a good day. The other day I was driving in the rain. When I got to my destination I turned off the noisy engine, turned off the radio and just sat there and listened.
Touch: I love being caught in the rain without an umbrella.  I have purposely left my house when it is pouring without grabbing a jacket or umbrella.  Of course, I don’t want to be wet all day.  But if I can get dry afterwards, why not.
Taste: Ok, I don’t normally stick my tongue out to taste the rain so this might be a stretch but… what could be better than sitting by the window while it is raining, reading a good book and drinking hot chocolate. 
Let it pour!
