Rain

Have you noticed the different sounds of rain? Have you noticed how rain can sound so different when there is no wind to hurry it along? have you noticed the differnt sound it makes in the middle of the night?

I love to hear the sound of rain without the noise of wind. The sound can be very gentle sounding like a soft step of a dance or the soft background beat of a song. It provides a backdrop to whatever you may be doing and it doesn’t interfere with whatever is going on around.

The early moring rain while, sitting under an umbrella sipping the first cuppa of the day, can be gentle and can have a smell of freshness. It gives the hint of possibilities. The soft evening rain washing away the dust of the summer is refreshing and sounds refreshing.

There is something really special about the rain which arrives after weeks of heat and dryness. It lifts the earth, it brings plants alive and opens the earth to new growth.

The sounds and smells of rain are magical.
