It happened. Yesterday. Our first spring rain.
We speculated all day whether or not it was going to rain. The forecast seemed to think it would, but the chance kept getting lower and lower. And really, can you predict a “storm” and say its going to rain less than a millimetre? I’m not sure that constitutes a storm. But, sitting out on the deck, we flip flopped all day about whether or not it was going to come.
We did eventually resign to going inside for supper, but we kept the kitchen window cracked and the living room curtains open. Just as we put supper on the table, I looked outside. It was grey and a bit windy, and the road was darker. Spotted. SPOTS! RAIN!!!
I bellowed “Raaaaaaain” before running outside. The kids ate while we sat on the step and watched the rain. Watched. Listened to. Smelled. Felt. Man, it was SO good to experience the rain again. Don’t get me wrong, I am LOVING the sun. Even in the chilly morning wind, I’m determined to be outside. This is me right now!
But the rain was GLORIOUS! Albeit short lived. But SO refreshing and beautiful.
It doesn’t hurt that the rain didn’t result in icy roads and devastation either. Maybe winter is finally over. Maybe.
We should probably get our winter tires off soon 😆 Whoops…..
