It's raining here. I love it when it rains here. There's nothing more calming, and relaxing than going out your front door in your bare feet and hopping and skipping through the puddles as you please. Moments like these seem to have brought me back to child hood. The rain is always warm here, and there's never a harsh cold wind to accompany that rain. It's really, truly beautiful. My all time favorite part is the puddle-hopping. The trick is to find a really deep one and give it all you've got when you leap in. There's nothing better than being rewarded with that ENORMOUS splish splash of water as it flies up all around you. I think that I'm going to go find myself a puddle now...
