When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad
For the next few days before I leave for the Mainland, my posts will be on some of my favorite things here.
Today's is rainstorms.
I'm pretty sure there's nothing quite like a complete downpour of warm Hawaii rain. I love walking out in the rain and feeling it pounding down, and then, just as quickly as it started, it ends. Living in Washington kind of put me off rain- it felt like it was always cloudy and gray and it didn't really rain very often, it just kind of dripped at different rates. Rainstorms here make up their minds- when it's time for rain, it is time, and there's no stopping it. It's amazing.
(I probably wouldn't have felt the same about today's rainstorm if I had anything out on the line, luckily I didn't, so I ran out to take pictures instead of rescuing things from being drenched.)

(Of course, by the time you notice it's raining and get to the line, things are so wet it's not worth the trouble to take them down. Just leave them, wait for the sun and the breeze to return, and then grab them when they do dry.)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear that you're back to enjoying the rain. I remember with joy your delight in puddle jumping and dancing in the rain!
