open air

I sit outside, doors open. Let the fresh, rain scented air waft into the house as I let it drizzle on my feet. A beautiful spring day, turned gorgeous as the light rain turns into a downpour and soaks the ground. It is on days like these that I am grateful to be alive in the world, grateful to appreciate the simple things. Like rain on a spring day.

This warm spring rain came on slowly, creeping in on gray clouds throughout the day. Starting with a few light drops. The rhythm of the rain is always so comforting. How it shifts as the winds change. Drip, drop...drop, drop, drop. Then the familiar shhhhhhhhh - rain on the roof. I love how the light changes when the rain comes, from bright and vibrant hues of blue and green, to shadowed grays and violets.

Take a deep, breath, in. Smell the dirt, warmth, water gushing from the sky. This makes me smile, close my eyes and take in the sounds, smells, touch of rain.

In love with this day.
