Wow! Its raining for the third day in a row! I live in Las Vegas and the area that I live in has hardly gotten any rain in the past few years I have lived here. Anytime it rained the hot temperature and potent sun exposure received in this desert climate evaporated it before it had any time to water our plants or even cool the temperatures outside.
Its beautiful to hear it, see it and even smell it. My favorite sound to hear when I fall asleep or even wake up is the tinkling drops of rain on the window. As a child this was a frequent experience for me and when I moved here I didn't realize how "important" it was to me to live somewhere it rains.
A lot of people here that "love" Vegas desert weather are complaining about the rain. I realize its inconvenient for it to be wet and it does affect the temperatures outside during this part of the year here. I just know that its so relaxing and cozy to have this weather. I will miss it when its gone and so I am trying to appreciate it as much as I can while its here. Soon it will be 120 degrees outside and we will feel like vampires inside until around 7 or 8 at night when its finally cool enough to let my boys play outside (with sunscreen at all times).
I love my sweatpants, my socks, my sweatshirts, and all the wonderful layers I am getting wear during these next few days!
Thank you God for this wonderful weather.
I love how its so symbollic of this season in my life.
Washing away all the things I want to be free of and getting a fresh new start.
Rain please don't go away. I love you. :)
