Where there's rain...

...there's a rainbow! I can't help myself. If it's raining and the sun comes out, even the slightest bit, I'm out looking for rainbows.

If it has to be raining I would much rather be: 1) walking out in it (as long as I have really good rain boots) or 2) at home in front of the fire with a good book and a hot drink. The last place I want to be is working when it's raining. At least it rained hard enough to wash the dirt off my car instead of just making mud.

The rain was very distracting today and thus I did not get much work done. I spent a lot of time looking out the window watching the rain. It was so windy today at times the rain was horizontal! Have you ever noticed how the rain sounds just like frying bacon? True. And have you ever noticed how clean everything looks the next sunny day after a hard rain? The trees are all shiny (well, at least the one's that aren't lying broken in the street - I saw several of those on my way home tonight).

Soon enough all the hillsides will be lush and green again. And so goes the wheel of the year turning along.
