It has been raining for a week! I am not complaining I don't mind the rain since I hardly ever see it. The week before the weather was what can only be termed as "lovely". On such lovely days we like to spend our time outside resulting in the photos above. It took so long for it to get cold this winter that I don't really appreciate the warmth as much as others. I have enjoyed our few wet days. I actually had a "Moment" because of the rain. You know, a moment where you stop and realize how small you really are and how marvelous the earth is. Play group was at my house on one of these rainy days. Four little 2 1/2 year olds were sitting at my table coloring and asking for more raisins when it suddenly started to rain hard. I pulled up the blinds and opened the window. I asked the kids if they could hear the rain. For a moment all four children stood in front of the window completely silent. I'd say, "can you hear that?" and they'd sigh in wonder,"yeah". It was the coolest thing. Maybe you had to be there. Anyway, as long as I'm not boiling hot in my apartment, I consider it a good day.
