Rain
I love the rain! It's the first real rain in something like 83 days. At least that's what they said on the news. I love the smells and the sounds. Now it feels like fall. I think I am going to put on some of my favorite christmas music right now and just enjoy this moment.
I wrote this about rain:
"There are few times that such a gray sky is so inviting. Everyone looks up to see this new scenery int he air, this blanket that brings with it the joy of a cool breeze and sprinkles of water on your nose. Then close your eyes. WE all breathe in that musty wet asphalt and pine needles. The ground opens up to release a treasure of scents that are such a treat. Windows and doors fly open to soak up the fragrance. Ahhh, the first rain of autumn."
