...open up and say ahhh...

The rains have been sent to us! I'm sitting up here in our cozy little tv room, typing away, drinking strong coffee, and watching the puddles in our neighbor's patio chairs grow larger by the second. When the rain first started a day or two ago you could almost hear the grass and other plants collectively gulp. My favorite thing though is the fact that in our kitchen the rain sounds like popcorn exploding as it hits the stove exhaust pipe on the roof!
