Finally, it rained tonight. It only took several months for our first respectable rain to arrive but it was GLORIOUS.
The dark and slow-moving clouds arrived first and seemed to chug to a stop overhead, bunching up like clogged highway traffic at rush hour. Then, the first few patter-pats of raindrops began to plop onto the windows and our metal roof. This was followed by roughly forty-five minutes of meditative bliss as a heavy blanket of rain and gentle thunder enveloped our ridge.
I opened the front and patio doors, leaving just the screens closed to welcome in every last iota of humidity that could make its way into the house. As evening fell, I turned off all the lights, lit a single candle and sat down to enjoy the moment as I watched the rain drops meander down the windows overlooking our valley.

Truly, isn’t that always the way. Spoke to my sister on the east coast last week and she had rain most of the last few weekends and was wishing for the opposite. Hope you have a good weekend!
