the smell of rain

I realize my last post might be a little misleading. That picture is from a few weeks ago. This week we have had RAIN!!!!!! YIPEE for wonderful, sweet smelling, land and soul refreshing rain.

I love the smell of rain. I love to sit on the porch and watch it fall. I love the sound of rain. I love coming out and seeing puddles. I think some of this comes from summer visits to Florida as a child. I have these great memories of riding my grandmother's bike through puddles along Buckinghammock Trail.

So, there are my thoughts for the day. I hear a cup of Vanilla Chai tea and porch chair calling my name.
