Listen to the Falling Rain. Listen to the Rain.

Well, so much for a walk in the rain this evening.  I could go but I'm afraid I could be a human lightning rod.

The drive home from work was in a downpour that contained hail bigger than pea-sized.  Good thing there was not too much of it.  The sound was deafening inside the vehicle when the hail hit the roof.  The smaller ones were as hard as rocks.  The larger ones were softer and exploded into slush on impact.

Clouds have been passing over since 5:30pm.  Each one putting on a sound and light show while over-flowing the rain barrels.  The power had been flickering on/off and I gave up trying to reset clocks.  Instead, I thought I would wait out the storms by getting cozy with a good book.  Turns out the book must not have been that good because reading turned into a two hour nap.  Ahh, I feel as refreshed as the plants must feel with the rain outside.  Now what am I going to do all night when I can't sleep?  Open the window and listen to the rain of course.
