Rainy days

If you love the rain like I do one of the best parts of living in the country is rainy days and nights. Yesterday it rained most of the day & night, and there is almost nothing better than the sound of raindrops hitting the window panes and the rain falling on a tin roof. The exception being the added sound of thunder rumbling in the distance.
Its harder to feel and appreciate the rain when you live in town or the city. Everything is too hetic & noisy and it would be almost impossible to escape back to your childhood days of playing in the rain. Remember catching raindrops on your tongue or eyelashes, splashing in puddles, or kicking water out of puddles. Here you can walk as fast or as slow as you want in the rain taking time to stop and listen to the sound of the rain falling through the leaves on the trees or watching raindrops fall in puddles. If you want to relive childhood memories of playing in the rain no one thinks anything of it, they may even stop and be silly with you. :)

I spent my afternoon curled up, by the wood stove, under my favorite blanket watching it rain and daydreaming.

The weatherman is calling for a chance of snow tomorrow--the first of the year I can hardly wait.
