As I stumble toward bed, I hear the familiar sound. It is raining again here. I will sleep well tonight. Do you enjoy the sound of rain?

It depends on how much I've heard it. Right now it makes me rather agressive, although the electricity here costs about 15 % of what it does further south because of the rain

@TheHorse In the north. Heavy rains = lots of water for the hydropower plants = cheaper electricity

Is the heavy rain in the North? Or South?

@TheHorse hopefully you'll get enough rain that it won't happen again next year.

@TheHorse It is my routine to have an afternoon nap. The evening is a busy time for me daily.

I'm off to a relaxing start on this rainy Sunday. Kitty is sleeping. I may watch some football. Or not. I have no obligations. I like that.

You must have been really tired, pony. I hope you sleep well. I usually have earbuds in when I sleep so can't hear the rain. (Once in a while the thunder is so loud I'll hear that even when wearing earbuds... Pretty screamed when it sounded like the lightning hit the house last night. ) Some limbs are down in the back yard. I can't see where the lightning hit but I'm sure it got one of the trees back there.

What do you do with the downed limbs? Do you have a fireplace?

@TheHorse Depending on which tree the limb comes from, the next door neighbor might take it to use in his outdoor fireplace. When we cut down the mulberry tree in the front yard, he didn't want those. We piled them up against the street and the city took them to the dump.

Yes, the sound of rain is comforting. I hope your area doesn't get mud slides.

Heh. I just wrote about mud slides. We've had a couple, but nothing horrible so far.

@LindaOHio Will do. The pavement is still wet, but it has stopped raining for a moment.

I am listening to Baroque music right now. It is my favorite era for classical music.

@Hytton03 Baroque tends to be lively. But I'm OK with solemn music now and again.

Better raining there than here... the grass is (almost) "high as an elephant's eye" or something.

Maybe you could bale that grass and sell it for a pretty penny in Montana.

Driving in the rain can be a pain, especially around here, where many people aren't used to it.

Yes, I enjoy the sound of rain, but with all the windows closed I do not hear the rain in this season.

I keep my desk window and Kitty's sliding balcony door slightly open. So I hear everything.

We've had a couple of mudslides. But the rain is slow and steady, the best kind after a long drought.
