My daughter has a great relationship with the rain too. For me, it depends on the moment.

Rain can be incredibly soothing. This post was very poetic, Kellan. Lovely.

I love the rain. I grew, for a portion of my life, in Maine. And I love the rain. (enough to say it twice). I love the smell of rain, and I absolutely love the sound of rain.....

This reminds me of an old Helen Reddy song..(does this take you back or what?) Peaceful....
It is a sweet little song that always made me think of the rain....

Ah, I love rain! It's best when you can stay home to enjoy it, though.

2008-03-11T05:06:41.260-07:00

It is sad sometimes how we don't appreciate nature enough. Hearing you appreciate the rain makes me think about how I used to moan about it raining, and now that we are on water restrictions due to lack of rain, I look forward to every drop.

I enjoy a nice rainy afternoon SOMETIMES! It's a nice excuse to be lazy, an extra excuse to toss in a movie or grab some books and snuggle up the kids. A nice excuse to further put off a dreaded errand, etc. SOMETIMES. but when you live in WA, the rain can get a little OLD. FAST. Like THREE MONTHS AGO. So talk to me again in Sept or so, okay? LOL!!

i like the random rainy days...especially when i have tons of work, nowhere i have to drive to, and there is thunder involved. something about thunderstorms makes me feel all snugged up in the house and safe... plus, Zeke will sleep all day bc he knows it's too wet to go outside.

I am right there with you. When I know its going to rain, I get giddy with anticipation. I like how you expressed it here. :)

I, for one, can't WAIT until we get rain instead of snow. There's something so therapeutic about the rain.

How nice that you can find something positive out of the dark. I love a good booming thunderstorm!
Still saying prayers for Baby and the rest of y'all.

Remind me of my son who told me yesterday that we have "good weather." It's raining , he said.

But I love rain, too - sometimes. Not the 24/7 kind of rain.

Hey Its raining all the way here in Indonesia too. And it got VERY dark in the middle of the day. Aaron loves it when it rains. He just stands there and watches it.

2008-03-10T13:56:44.029-07:00

I love those dark rainy days too, especially if I can be alone which is almost never lol.

Wonderful post. YOu made me feel there!

Oh and thanks for all the baby updates. I'm praying. He's tiny wrinkled arm almost made me cry! He's so precious!

There's nothing more calming than crawling under the covers at night to a good old fashion rain storm...

Unfortunately, the closest I've gotten to that comfort in the last 5 monthes is the sound of sleet tapping on the windows and snow plow engines at full throttle...

...I'm off to do the rain dance.
