Rain today

It rained today. All day. Still raining late tonight as I type this. Actually, I like the rain. It's calmning and cleansing. Everything always smells so clean and fresh after it rains. It brought to mind an old favorite kids poem.

Dancing in the Rain

So what if it drizzles

And dribbles and drips?

I'll splash in the garden,

I'll dance on the roof.

Let it rain on my skin,

It can't get in-

- I'm waterproof.

by Shel Silverstein

OK, my all time favorite of his poems is actually 'Sick.' I had to have it memorized for class in 5th grade, and amazing, I can still recite it. But I'll save that one for a day more appropriate. Some day I'm SICK of work or SICK of kids or SICK of pets... then I'll share it.
