Coolness. Air conditioning off. Windows open.
Finally. A rainy day. A welcome relief from the dry, hot weather we’ve been experiencing.
From drops softly splashing into puddles, to drops angrily pelleting the roof.
It’s all good.
The thirsty ground greedily drinks in the welcome moisture. —slurp!—
The flowers bow under the weight of the drops, grateful to be washed clean.
Trees softly stir in the light breeze, shedding water from their leaves like a dog shaking after a bath.
Rivulets of water run down the incline of our driveway.
The gutters on the house gurgle and splash.
And I am renewed with every drop that falls.
