Simple Pleasures

Right now it’s raining – not too light but not so heavy I have to close the windows. I love summer rain storms. One of my favorite sounds is that of a gentle rain hitting the leaves. It reminds me of my summers camping with my family. I didn’t really hear that sound in the city, but where I live now there are plenty of leaves. You may think I’m silly opening my windows to hear a rainstorm, but for me it’s one of those pleasures money can’t buy.

Our bathroom vent pipes are tin pipes. My brother in law always tells me my bathroom is singing when it rains. I like the sound. I can listen from the bedroom, it’s musical.
I have a screend porch next to my desk. It’s wonderful to hear the rain. If the water isn’t coming in, the window is open during a summer rainstorm.
My windows are open at all times when it’s raining in summer – no better way to be than being in bed, reading a book and listening to the rain – mmmmh!
I stumbled upon your blog this morning and am really enjoying your writing-style – I will definitely come back for more!
