let it pour

monday night, i turned off the lights and crept into my bed. it was quiet and dark. suddenly, i saw a bright flash of light outside my window. the wind picked up, and i heard something hit the glass pane on the other side of my room. 
rain. 
it was raining. it was pouring. the wind howled, lighting flashed, rain poured, it was glorious. the smell of rain is the most beautiful smell in the world, i tell you. after months of dry heat, this is just beautiful. yesterday my little brother had fun playing in the giant puddles that had formed in our backyard after the constant rain all day.
i never thought i would be happy about the rain, but now, i can't stop smiling.
what's your favorite kind of weather?

  1. What a wonderful moment, you just seem to describe it so well! Usually I don't like the grey damp weather, but sometimes it's a blessing and you just can't help but to enjoy it while it lasts, wonderful post! x

  4. My favorite weather is a light rain, with a cup of Rasberdy tea at my side, and my moleskine journal :) I am learning to love rain too :)

  5. This almost makes me like the rain...(I'll admit - it has some good points, the smell for one) but as it is, sunshine will always be at the top for me ;) Gina X

  7. Considering we have rain here 95% of the time, it isn't my absolute favourite, but thunder & lightning storms? Those are! ;)

  8. You nailed it. It's good when it rains - but it's fantastic when we get thunder and lighting!
