Rain makes me happy.... but there hasn't been any in awhile. Not only are we in a water ban here in Putnam, but my plants are thirsty too! It's been HOT! Really hot, and that's okay. But I love rain! Rain is relaxing, rain makes me want to sleep some more.
When I was little I loved rain when we were at Alexanders Lake. If it wasn't thunderstorming, we'd run into the lake (cause we were wet already) and it always made the water feel warmer. (Now I know it's because the air was so much cooler when it rained) but either way, it was magical swimming in the rain. We would go under water and look up at the rain hitting the top of the lake. The fish loved it too and they'd always come out and swim with us.
That aside, when it rains it means we can't go outside and play. So for me, it's easy: put on the tv or do a project with the kids. There are fewer options and I don't feel guilty for not getting them outdoors for the day. When I was little it meant that I could do a craft project or watch a movie and I loved that feeling.
So, bring on the rain! Water the earth, our ponds, oceans and streams, and fill our pools!
