Warm Summer Rains

I love a soft summer rain.  Everything seems clean and refreshed.  The plants, grass, shrubs and trees finally get a good dose of Mother Nature's sweet nectar.  The air is cool, and the rains are warm.  A perfect time to be outside, or a relaxing time to read or watch a movie.  Life seems to slow down a pace or two.

Being from the great Pacific Northwest, I love the rain.  It's in my blood.  The fiber of my being.  I love the dripping of the rain from my gutters.  I love the slosh of tires on the streets.  I love watching the soft droplets fall against a street light.  I love the smell of rain hitting hot summer pavement.  I love the feel of the rain on my face and in my hair.  I love the smell of wet, warm, steaming barkdust mixed in with the sweet smell of roses.

Not to mention the love that I will have for my much lighter than usual water bill.

Thank you Mother Nature!

I so agree with you. I love the rain. I was just answering one of those questions that said .....If you could be a kind of weather, what would it be and I said......a sun shower. : )
