Rain Rain, You can Stay




The pitter patter of rain on the sun canopy woke me up this morning. Well, that and J's snoring. It's raining! I love it. After that stretch of heat there is nothing so wonderful as a good downpour. The smell of wet asphalt is heady.
I'm a westcoast girl, born and bred....I need the rain. We're back to sun by the end of the week, which is ok, too.
Not much else to say - except there was a bullfrog on my patio this morning, and a huge pile of racoon droppings on my lawn. And it's raining. Isn't life grand.

That's awesome! I love the rain too! It's so cool to see what a summer shower in the Pacific Northwest will bring out.

I've got a bull frog story. For another time, I suppose...

I'm glad you're getting some rain and hopefully the break from the heat will last a bit.

Could you send a little of that rain our direction? South and east a little bit.

Oh I LOVE the rain. You and I are kindred spirits aren't we? I miss you and I really just need to sit down and type out a nice long email. Or maybe actually handwrite a letter. WOW! That would be something.

BTW, I meant to tell you I got your MO and the beautiful card in the mail last week I think. Thank you so much. I really wasn't expecting it. You know I don't mind doing anything for you. LOVE YOU!

I'm so glad you're getting your rain!! In one of life's little ironies, we have gone from a drought to too much rain. There just seems to be no end in sight. Fortunately we get these breaks inbetween downpours - so it keeps the flooding down. It's always something!!

Hey Rena,
I feel the same way about the rain. Texas has recieved buckets and I loved it. Just today there came a down pour for about an hour and I loved it! I am just enjoying not being in the hunreds yet, and for late July here in Texas that is a miracle!!

I have been gone this past week, and I wanted to tell you I owe you an email which you will be getting soon!!
Blessings to you!
