Finally, the wonderful sound of rain

I have been sitting here for over an hour watching the dark clouds roll in, listening to the sound of thunder and watching it lightening. And now, finally the raindrops are making their little noise as they hit the roof and gutters. I am so happy. The wind did come up and I had to shut my window as it was getting chilly and the rain was coming in. I hope that it continues all night. I know then that I should be able to sleep. What is your weather like?

@vsai2008 I don't think there will be a problem with humidity this late in the season. At least I hope not.

@velvet53 I hope this doesn't cause humidity and such things, but rain is such a relief sometimes :)

I hope that we get more soon. We haven't been getting the big storms like we used too. I miss them.

@averygirl72 Yes I do like those storms. I don't want to see destruction as I have seen enough of that in my life.

@velvet53 You like big storms. Me too. I want the strong winds but not too destructive

@velvet53 I've just watched and listened to the most glorious thunder storm through my open bedroom window. Lashings of rain, bursts of thunder, and it was far too warm to close the window - 15 degrees here tonight, and now that it's stopped the world feels fresh again.

That sounds marvelous. It is still raining here. I can tell by the puddles of water in my front yard. We don't have any grass here but sure have the holes.

Today has been beautiful. Breezy, getting rid of the heat, some clouds. We had some rain last night, but not a lot, none today and I don't think there's any in the forecast.

@just4him I did wear a light jacket to my appointment yesterday. I am glad that you were able to go to the pool. I know how much you enjoy it. I hope today is a nice day for you too.

At least things cooled down for you and that is a blessing. It is still sprinkling right now and we have more dark clouds moving in.

@velvet53 Yes, it has cooled down. I've moved from shorts to long pants. When I looked at the temp this morning, 59, before I left for the pool, I thought only for a moment about taking a jacket, but didn't. When I got outside, it would have been a good idea, but it was starting to warm up a little by the time I got out of the pool. It's supposed to be 70 today, and from the looks of things, a light breeze too.

It's been a long time that I didn't have leisure time to enjoy the gift of the nature. Their graceful symphonys are the best cure for sleeping.

It's been raining the past week here. A few weeks back it would just rain in the afternoon or late at night. Lately though, it's been raining on and off the whole day. There's a storm approaching the country. Rainy season means a lot more chances of typhoons (or hurricanes) hitting our country so we'll be expecting a really wet month.

We may get showers tonight. Otherwise, it's been sunny most of the summer. Today it got hot and humid, but it beats snow, ice, and cold any day!

Rain is good in many ways. It is still sprinkling and that is fine with me. It smells so fresh now.

I'm glad you are getting rain that you need. We had steady rain for about two weeks and we were tired of it, but from yesterday we are seeing the sun, which makes us happy.
