Just Love It


The sunshine was nice last week, but April showers do bring May flowers... and I love a nice, rainy day. Yesterday, Matt and I were outside on the patio for a minute and the smell of the rain on cement was so wonderful. Everything about this weather is just so cozy to me. When it rains like this I just want to sit in the corner of my couch and read, or go outside and look for worms (which is Leah's favorite activity these days). As it is, I am sitting in a comfortable office chair looking out the windowed doors to a blissfully gray day. Knowing that I only have only a few weeks out of the year that are actually gray and rainy, and knowing that just around the corner is a long length of sunny and scorching days makes me appreciate this season all the more. This is perfect flip-flop weather for me, the way they sound on wet cement just makes me happy.

Cheers!

Sometimes I don't like the rain at all, but I will agree with you, there are some days that I really do enjoy it. And at this point in the year I would definitely rather have rain then snow. And beside our lawns need a break from all the freezing and just need a little water.

Ah, you captured my feelings exactly. Growing up in the east, I didn't know how much I liked rain until I landed in NV. Now it's a precious commodity that literally brightens up my life! Is that weird or what? Thanks for sharing, and enjoy your blustery day.

I LOVE rainy days. As long as it is warm rain and not cold rain.

I love the sound of rain. I don't like going out in it much but I love opening the windows and listening to it.

I couldn't agree more, I love the rain!
