Been raining here and things are quiet....I went outside during a break and in my shaky ways decided to burn a lot of branches and old wood.  Well...got it burning well with the aid of Citronella .... this stuff doesn't flare and seems to work well on wet wood.  Anyway...out there by the fire....wife and her sister left to observe from the windows and comfort of the home.  Rain came...Was standing there just soaking it in you my say.....was awesome...reminded me of why I like fishing in the rain...so so peaceful.  Now I'm wishing I could drive so I could go fishing.....

Can't have it all......:)

May your day be blessed.

 

   Yup. When it rains or when a storm hits, I make a cup of coffee and go out on the porch to watch it, or I go to the shed and open both doors and watch it. After 43 years of marriage, my wife still doesn't understand. I suppose that's what I get for marrying a city girl. (Gotta love'em, though.)     ???      jj

Sometimes the simple pleasures are the best. Keep inspiring us.

43 yrs you say, quite an accomplishment. 

 

Ironically , today is my anniversary " 35th " and 1st time she didn't get flowers. 

 

Ya'll keep enjoying the rain, like it to.

Fortunately for you, it's warm enough to enjoy the rain. We can't seem to break the 50's for highs and high 30's for lows in northern IL. It rained for 12 hours yesterday give or take. It was still cold enough that the nightcrawlers didn't emerged from their homes. They would have rather drowned than freeze to death LOL
