Rain! Glorious Rain!

I was out watering and feeding the animals (who always act like they are just starving!) and I felt something wet fall onto my shoulder.  I looked up and not too many clouds in the west or the east.  I looked South, and it was DARK! Could it be? Could there really be a crazy unpredicted storm coming from the south? YES! RAIN! Glorious RAIN!! It poured for quite awhile and cooled down a bit.  The wind blew and the lightening flashed.  I ran out into the yard like a little schoolgirl.  Rain is a good thing!  Our yard was starting to get so cruncy it no longer felt good on my barefeet. 

There nothing that smells better than a summer rain.  I don't know why it smells so good but I wish I could bottle that smell up and smell it all the time.  I could make millions!  People have tried but it never smells the same.  You just can't copy mother nature no matter how much you try.

There is a small chance of rain tomorrow, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday and I hope it rains everyday!

I can't tell you any time that we've had summer rain here in CA. However, the summer rain in MN is my favorite thing!
