Some people feel blue, depressed, or down whenever they end up with a rainy day. Not me, I love rainy days as long as the raindrops don't bring along thunder and lightening. To me, a rainy day is one that makes the grass, flowers, shrubs, and trees stand up proudly and celebrate. They love the rain. It is life - giving to them. As long as I am inside in air-conditioning during this time a year I am a happy camper. I can almost see our yard jumping for joy. Anyway, I have a lot of things to keep me busy inside, it doesn't bother me at all to be indoors on a rainy day. How do you feel about rainy days?

It becomes too much of a good thing after a few days.

I agree. Rain does the earth good. However, too much of it can drown those plants. We've had more than our share of rain and we keep getting more. Rain makes me sleepy and gives me an excellent night's sleep when it rains overnight. Otherwise, I find myself falling asleep on my keyboard during the day. I don't always get a lot done when it rains. I'm glad you are enjoying the rain. I'll send more your way as we're getting more today and the rest of the weekend. Even the weatherman said we don't need it. Usually, July has us begging for rain for our brown dry grass and sad looking plants. We've been green all year, well since the snow melted at least.

@HazySue That's good it does. Everything in me disappears with the rain. The only thing I do it seems is sleep. It's good when I can stay awake to get some work done on a book. I hope my nap earlier will be enough to get me through the storm coming our way. I don't need any more sleep today.

I love to read when it is raining. Plus, for some reason rain - without the thunder and lightening -seems to bring out the creativity in me.

I could live with it for longer as long as it doesn't bring the noisy light show with it. It has a calming effect when you listen to the pitter patter.

Unfortunately, for us here in Florida, it seems to bring us a higher humidity making it hotter and sticky.

It depends on when and how rains do come in our life. When it has been a long dry season and rains come they are a welcome blessing already. But when rains are coming in non stop and creating havoc like floods here and there then it becomes depressing already.

I have to agree with you there. When there is not enough rain it causes problems and when it rains too much it causes problems. Give me that nice gentle rain.

I do not like rainy days, but know we have to deal with them. I really don't like them when I have no choice but to go out in that weather. it is what it is. Yes, it does make me feel blue and sometimes depressed.

@HazySue I get that and I agree. But in the average of rain, I find them to be depressing.

I like it because it is watering and nourishing my plants. I also like it because it makes me feel cozy and creative.

Don't like the storms, just the quiet rainy days. My grandmother used to tell me that the thunder is only God bowling.

I love the rain! Sometimes rain brings on a gloomy day for me but I think usually I am not feeling blue when it rains. Unless it is just one of those down days for me, which has nothing to do with the weather.

Nobody can water a garden like a good shower of rain. You can just about see the ground soaking up the moisture.

If someone allows me to get drenched in the rain, then I love it. If I am with my parents at home with lots of crispy items to eat and a movie is going on, then I love the rain. When its too hot and the rain showers his blessings to fall down the temperature , I love the rain. When I was going somewhere, I hate rain. When its the school time, I hate rain. When I was on the ship or flight, I hate rain.
