So Spring is here. And yet, the rain continues. Rain, wind, hail, lightning. Truly wintery, gray, “I-don’t-want-to-go-out-in-this” weather. Complain about it all you like—You are entitled. It’s pretty nasty—but in spite of all that, I love it.
No, maybe it’s because of all that. I love curling up inside with a warm cup of tea, listening to the rain beat against the house. I love walking about in the rain—umbrella or not—and getting that fresh, sharp, cool air into my lungs. I love the smell of the wet earth. I love clouds and rainbows. I love the way we can have spring and winter simultaneously, as though this little corner of the world were a bit bipolar. I love seeing bright pops of color in the brave little flowers that insist upon blooming through the gale. I mean, even if you’re longing for the summer sun, surely the bursts of flowery color can bring you a little cheer.
Bring on those wild weather changes. I’ve got my rainboots, layered clothing, and a cup of tea. I’m ready. Plus, summer will be here all too soon and we’ll be moaning about the ridiculous heat. Let’s enjoy some wet weather while we have it. :)
