We Love the Rain

I'll admit it, the rain hasn't bothered me in the least. I love it. I think I could live in Oregon or Seattle no problem. I hadn't even realized how much it had been raining until my sister mentioned the "Oregon type weather", and how it just wasn't going away. I've always been a fan of rainstorms. I love to see the sky sparkle and hear the booms of thunder. I particularly love to lay in bed and listen to a good storm.

I guess it comes from my dislike of extremely hot summer days. I hate to be hot and sweaty so a little cloud cover with occasional drops of rain does little to dampen my mood.

Plus I've been reaping the rewards of not having to water my garden, the AC hasn't been turned on and my bedroom window stays open at night so I can feel the chilly breeze and listen to the small pond in the backyard trickle.

So from my point of view this weather could keep on keeping on with no complaints from me!

I hear ya! I don't usually like the rain. That is because it only rains when it is cold here. Now that it is warm, I LOVE it.

I haven't minded it either. I love the smell and sound of it the best. Adam and Gabe are going a little crazy with it though. They want to be outside playing, not in the rain.

I too love the rain! Unless Im stuck out in it and have no shelter. But its been a weird summer to have more raining days than sunny. There is nothing better than lying in bed listening to a good thunderstorm!!!

I totally agree, I love listening to thunderstorms! And I am more than happy that the rain has managed to keep the temp down.
