In direct contrast of yesterday’s beauty, today has been a dark, rainy day.

I love rain as much as I love sunshine. Rain brings life, the much needed water to sustain plants, animals and humans alike.

Sleeping to rainfall is one of my favorite things. I didn’t want to get up today! I wanted to just keep sleeping in my dark, cool bedroom as the rain pattered on the roof.

Sometimes when I can’t sleep, I’ll play ambient rain noise. It is almost foolproof, putting me to sleep quickly.

This rain is the precursor to colder temperatures for the rest of the week. So long mid-70s. Hello mid-50s. Back to normal November temperatures. It is as it should be….rainy days, sunny days. We need them both. I love ’em both.

“Anyone who says sunshine brings happiness has never danced in the rain.”
