It's raining....

You know, I think you have to live somewhere like here, where you can go 6-8 weeks with no rain, to really appreciate a thundershower. Of course, this being farm country, and growing up in a farming family also makes me appreciate it.
It smells so wonderful. I went out into it, it's a warm rain, coming almost straight down with no wind, which is almost completely unheard of around here. Just a few rumbles of thunder, which is also a rarity. Usually it's 60 mile an hour winds, and tons of lightening and thunder. People driving by were looking at me like I was crazy, out in the rain... It felt wonderful though. Warm rain coming down, my bare feet in the wet grass...
I had gone out to wash my truck this afternoon, and I saw the clouds coming, but I like washing my truck, and I didn't have anything else to do, so I went ahead. When I pulled it into the garage to put on the quick shine stuff, it had just started to sprinkle. It waited to rain for a couple of hours, my truck is sitting out on the street. No problem, it still looks better than it did...
