Rainy days

Today is a beautiful gorgeous day. That is if you like rain. Most everyone around me is glum and bummed that they can't see the hot, hot August sun. I have a different view. I love rainy days. Sure two three weeks of non-stop rain will get me down. But I love the naturally relaxed feel of slow gentle rain. There's no pressure to go out and do something; it's perfectly acceptable to sit and watch a movie, read, or one of my favorites, sit on the deck and just watch. I'm often reminded that we pray for days like this(Alabama is coming out of a drought) and when they come we whine.

I also find comedy in watching people holding newspapers over their head in a vain attempt to stay dry. Here in South, the rain is warm, most of us spent 10-20 min in the shower this morning. But, maybe these people are the descendants of Dorthy's nemesis?

For the rest of us have fun and jump in a puddle.

There is nothing like a good thunderstorm. We actually had one a couple of weeks ago. The first real thunderstorm I remember around here in a long time. Ashely and I just sat and watched it out the window, it was awesome.
