I don't really like rain.
I don't like the mess -- puddles and mud, wet pant hems and dingy, oily water kicked up on the back of my legs -- it all drives me crazy.
Additionally, I live in a house without air conditioning, so rain and warm weather create an icky, humid mash-up. Bath towels take forever to dry and even the rugs and carpet feel damp and sticky. Ugh. Air conditioning helps to take the humidity out of the atmosphere, but fans, ceiling or otherwise, don't even come close. : /
It rained this evening and it was glorious! The rain cut through the oppressive heat that has held us captive for the past nine days. Instead of a downpour, we were treated to a heavy drizzle with no wind. I needed to run errands this evening, and I didn't even mind being out in the rain. In fact, I actually enjoyed the feel of raindrops on my face and hands.
So tonight, I am thankful for a gentle spring rain. It has been quite awhile since we had a decent rain. The grass, flowers, bushes, and trees really needed the refreshing drink that this rain brought. Tomorrow the landscape will be more green, more lush, and more fragrant because of the welcome pitter patter of precipitation.
