Rain

One of my favorite things to do is just to listen to the rain.  The soft patter, the dripping sounds it makes as it falls off of the eaves, the leaves, the bushes.  It is such a soothing sound.  I even love the smell of rain.  I have a porch swing out front that I love to sit in, bundled up with a fuzzy blanket, a cup of hot tea, and a book.  Sometimes I will read, and sometimes I will just sit and listen.  Thank you Lord for the rain and all of the joy it brings me.
