Playing in the rain

This afternoon as the clouds rolled in and the rain began to fall it sounded like it was hailing the drops were so big. I was looking out the front door trying to decide if I needed to move my potted plants from the edge of the porch to the center to keep the hail from damaging them. A movement caught my attention out of the corner of my eye and I turned my head toward my son's house next door. There in the middle of the rain was my 22 year old granddaughter putting up a hammock in order to lay out in the rain and enjoy it! She's always loved to play in the rain. I have never liked it and finally decided it was because I've worn glasses most of my life, can't see much at all without them, and can't see with them if they're covered with rain! Do you like to play in the rain?

Nope not me I do not like playing in the rain as I also wear glasses and would be almost blind if they were covered with raindrops. I like to sit inside and listen to the rain drop onto the root though. it makes a pretty sound.

Yes, I enjoy walking and playing in the rain. I think most of us consider this as a blessing, to have fun and to welcome a new season. I haven't done that lately, but I would once I get to find me some time..

I don't mind being out in the rain as long as it's not pouring it down and it's not a cold rain. I really prefer those warm rains on warm summer afternoons. They're kind of comforting and a bit relaxing in a way. I actually haven't been out in any rain I've liked in quite awhile though. I've been staying inside.

I love to watch the rain. However at my age i really rather not stand out in it! My grand-children and sons all think it is great fun. Of course when they reach my age they will sadly enough be lost the innocence that lets them enjoy playing in it.

Yesterday is quite a lucky day for me because it rained when I was chatting with a girl who I have admired for quite a long time.The reason is that I have no chance to express my feeling.But,that night was so fit for telling her my love.What's more,she can't get home with an umbrella!What a nice day the god provided for me so I would not let it go!I catched the chance and brought her an umbrella.When accompanied her to her dormitory I inform her my love and fortunately she recieved it!When came back to my dormitory,I enjoyed the rain without the umbrella.what a sweety rainy night!
