Rain

There is something I just LOVE about the rain. The smell, the air, the wet. I LOVE it. Most people see dark clouds and are disappointed, but not me. I'm thrilled. I don't ever want it to stop. I think I need to move where we get more rain. Instead of making me feel sad and depressed it has the opposite effect. We just got a new bench for our porch and already I've sat on it twice to listen and smell the rain. Ahhhhh. I love it. Look at those dark clouds behind the house. And I have to add that our yard is finally looking like it's supposed to! We spent ALL day Saturday on it...seriously we were out there from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. (with food breaks, of course). It was neglected for far too long, but no more! Pat mowed, I pulled weeds, we cleaned out window wells, planted, mulched, put in lights, stained the kids picnic bench...whew!! And now we love being in our yard. We just have trees left to plant, that is when we get enough money to pay for them. (They are expensive!!) Thanks to my dad who made me work in the yard every Saturday. I actually enjoy pulling weeds now. (In my own yard, don't even think about asking me to take care of your yard! :)
