Let the rain kiss you. Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. Let the rain sing you a lullaby

I love the rain. It is by far my favorite precipitation. While I was at work today it was raining so much that I could hear it on the corrugated steel roof, over the horrible Marshall's store radio. I wanted to stop what I was doing grab my book and sit in the back room reading to the sound of rain all day. This is a common thing for me this time of year. I can spend days on end laying in bed reading while the rain taps out rhythms on my window. I can't wait for it to be warm enough to be able to go for walks in the rain. This may sound crazy to some of you but I love it. I once spent 6 hours walking the woods near my aunt's house in the rain. Last summer I sat on the stone wall in front of my house until I was completely soaked through. Then walked up stairs, shed my wet clothes, and crawled into a warm soft bed. It was possibly the best night of sleep I had ever had.
