Rain, rain, DON'T go away

I love the rain.

I love the sound of rain hitting the roof above me while I’m warm and dry inside.

I love the way the rain cleanses the earth and the air; and my dirty truck that I haven’t washed in years.

I love the way everything smells after it rains.

I love lying in bed and listening to the rain outside my window.

I love sitting by an open window when it rains and writing; or reading.

The rain makes me feel happy. I feel at peace. I feel content.

When I check the weather report and it calls for rain my spirits lift.

I like sitting in the spa or swimming in a heated pool in the rain.

I love it even more when it rains at night. But raining during the day is just fine as well.

I like to eat a bowl of soup or a nice beefy stew when it rains.

I like to drink hot cocoa and rum when it rains.

I used to read books aloud to my girlfriends when it rained.

I’ve often thought how nice it would be to find someone who enjoys the rainy weather as much as I do and share moments like these with her.

If it rained every day I don’t think I would care. Conversely, if it was warm and sunny every day I think I’d go insane.

I’ve been waiting ALL year for the rainy season to start. It started late, this year, and I’m glad it’s finally here.

If my room is freezing cold I’ll still open a window to listen to the rain.

I love walking in the forest while it’s raining. I’m almost guaranteed to have it all to myself.

I love lying in my tent at night when camping and listening to the rain pitter pat all around me.

If I ever get married, I hope it rains on that day.

I just now took a 15 minute break to stand outside in the rain in my waterproof hooded parka.

My neighbor just came over to ask me what I was doing standing in the middle of the street in the rain at 4 o’clock in the morning. I didn’t want him to think I was crazy so I said, “Washing my jacket.”

When I lived in Chico I used to walk to school in the rain and I loved every step of the way.

When it rains it can’t rain forever. So when it stops I am sad.

My mother loved the rain, too.

  1. Yeah…”washing your jacket” – not crazy at all…
    Rain is great – that’s one of the reasons I love Kauai so much – rain everday.

  2. I think you should have asked him what HE was doing outside at 4 in the morning! You could also have been checking to make sure your jacket was waterproof…

  4. Count me in! I love snuggling up in a blanket, drinking hot cocoa, and reading a book by an open window, listening to the rain fall outside. Nothing more relaxing than that!
