Rain

I love rain. I love the smell of it, the way it sounds spattering on the window, the peacefullness it seems to bring me. The way everything gets more green, like the leaves in the trees open up their pores to let the cool water in. There aren't many things better than laying down, next to an open window, with my nose stuck in a book. I discovered another really really good thing about rain today. Standing on the front porch with your daughter, watching the rain and taking turns putting your feet out to get rained on. It was perfect.
