summer, summer, go away, rain come back every single day!
i've been as giddy as a school girl this afternoon.
never mind the fact i nearly spun out of control on the wet freeway, or the fact i nearly missed my exit off the freeway because there was so much water that the steering wasn't working properly to steer in the direction i wanted (slightly scary lol)
seeing a decent downpour of rain.
watching the grounds change colour as they get wet.
seeing the ricochet of drops as they hit the concrete then explode into many more drops.
listening to the thunder chime in as the sight of lightning disappears.
the sound of the rain on my tin roof.
how the heavier the rain gets, makes it sound more like a stadium of applause at an opera or theatre show.
it's as if my house is making the sound of applause in appreciation of the gift from the skies of natural falling water.
my gardens will love it, as will i when the sun comes back to dry the grounds so i can once again play with the lawn mower.
all these things give me great pride and make me feel really good inside.
it's one of the many reasons i absolutely love winter.
feeling the chill in the mornings, watching fog and mist disappear during the course of the day, as it reveals any possibility of weather - sunny blue skies, blue sky with white fluffy clouds, dark nasty clouds preparing for another onset of torrential rains.
and me inside hiding out from the wet weather, watching with a big smile on my dial, thinking about stoking up the fireplace and lighting it up to add more sights, sounds and smells to the day.... the warming glow of fire, the sound of crackling dry timber as it explodes into sparkles of red like fireworks, and the smell of the smoke each time i open the door to add more fuel...
i love you winter.
i can't wait to see and feel your presence once again!
