There is something to be said about rainy days. Especially when it has not rained in such a long time.
Here in Deep East Texas we are experiencing a drought. With a summer of 30 + days of 100 degree weather and no rain and then a normally wet fall with only 3 or 4 days that it actually did rain we tend to dry up. Our poor lake is down several feet. You can walk out about 10 feet from the shore line without touching water. And normally I would be over my head if I walked out that far when the water was up.
But today we have rain. On a tin roof it is music to my ears. The last rain we had was on Christmas morning but before that it was over a month. Rain is to few and far between.
With the leaves on the ground and the rain the air is very fragrant. Almost clean (well as clean as it can get when you live in the country with already clean air). And tomorrow the day will start out fresh.
I love the rain. The way the air smells. The way it helps the plants grow. The way it washes away the dirt and grim. As the song says "Rain is a good thing."
