After complaining about the gray weather and no rain predicted it did start to drizzle and rain lightly in the evening. Then later that night I heard that dripping noise outside again. I opened the patio door to check and turned on the patio light.
It was raining. Not heavily. But raining a slow gentle quiet wonderful dripping rain. The drops making a slow soft splashing noise in the pool and on the patio. What a wonderful sound.
There is that nice wet smell of the earth. And the smell from the smoke of a neighbors chimney.
We need a lot more rain in California.

Thanks. If you are talking about my header of the sagebrush it was from Creative Commons. I really like it too.

I love all your posts. The one about rain really connected with me. When I first moved to California from Memphis via Wisconsin, I thought every time there was a gray sky it was going to rain. It was kinda crazy that it hardly ever rained. What a teaser! I was told it was just June Gloom or Gray May. I do miss the rain with so many of the senses responding in a glorious way. Lets have more rain and more of your blogs.

Thanks Cynthia. I appreciate you reading my posts. It’s strange how we become attached to the weather. Part of my family relocated from the UK to Texas and they miss the weather here.

Hi Cynthia. I think there might have been a mix up. I think you were talking about my post about the gray sky and this one about the rain. Thank you for the sweet compliment. Appreciate. It was such a nice surprise to see your comment here. 🙂

Thank You Linda for the kind words, appreciate it very much! I have a feeling we will get a deluge all at once and then I will be saying, “where’s the sunshine?”

Isn’t it kind of amazing how so many of us respond to the subject of rain. Melbourne gets quite a bit of it in the winter and sometimes a little late spring, and I never tire of hearing its sound and seeing how it refreshes our earth. I wish I could send some of it to my beloved California and elsewhere where needed!

I wish you could send the rain too. I keep saying now that I keep talking about it we will probably get the 40 year flood.
