It's Raining, It's Pouring...

No, unluckily, I don't live in the place shown in the picture. It's beautiful, though, isn't it? Like a fairy garden.

I love it when it rains. There's nothing but the pattering of the rain against the ground and birdsong. It's beautiful. There's just something about the rain that makes me feel like I'm missing a small, beautiful secret right under my nose, but I can't see it.

I've collected all the things I like about the rain into a list. (I like lists; they help me sort out my thoughts. :)

• It's so mysterious and beautiful.
• Everything is green.
• There's that smell of earth and growing.
• No one is out playing loud, disturbing music.
• All I can hear is the rain pattering against the ground and the birds singing.
• There's nothing like feeling rain on your face.
• Everything is so peaceful and slow and quiet.
• Lightning and thunder are magnificent to watch and listen to.

I would go on forever, but I don't have the time. To sum it all up, rain is a wonderful blessing that God sends down upon the earth. What do you like about the rain?
