rain, rain, don’t go away

 

Waking up in the morning to the sound of rain pounding on the roof and pouring out of the gutters just makes me smile. Even if the sky is leaden gray, my day somehow turns out brighter.

I suppose if I spent more time on the west side I might lose my enthusiasm. But in Goldendale, we don’t have beautifully coal-gray skies or big fat raindrops often enough.

I love the way it sounds, tapping on the roof or blipping on the windshield or plopping in the puddles. I love how it smells, fresh and clean and almost like the seaside. I love how it feels, cold and wet and splashy against my cheeks. I even love how it tastes when it drips down my nose to my tongue.

Rain makes me happy. :)
