I love the rain! ...not just for the nourishment it brings to the flora and fauna, but for its soothing sounds on the roof and its smells and its ability to drench the dust and pollens - causing them to be grounded rather than being breathed in.

I'm English so I consider myself something of an authority when it comes to rainy mornings. Also, I've been kicking around for a while and I've discovered that there are some things that are worse than rainy mornings. Here are a few of them:<br />
<br />
Lying in a ditch being sick<br />
<br />
Waking up in a prison cell and discovering that your six foot six cellmate thinks you have a pretty mouth<br />
<br />
Being confronted by your wife two days into her period when she says: "Well? What do you think?" and you can't see…

Waking up in a prison cell and discovering that your six foot six cellmate thinks you have a pretty mouth<br />
<br />
Being confronted by your wife two days into her period when she says: "Well? What do you think?" and you can't see anything different.<br />
<br />
Realising you have everything to live for... seconds AFTER you jump.<br />
<br />
This is to name but only a few. Actually, now that I put my mind to it, quite a lot of things that could be construed as worse than rainy mornings spring to mind.<br />

What's good about a rainy morning? Well, humans (English humans in particular) are the only organisms on the planet that don't rejoice when it rains. So, on average, rainy mornings are good. They provide water to the thirsty, they bring out the prey for the predators, they soften the earth so that birds can scratch for worms, they nourish the plants, they wash all the grime and dust off everything and make evrywhere smell wonderful... and they keep the humans indoors.

I just love the rain. Even if I have something to do I find it comforting to know that the Creator is watering his garden. Also, nothing better than a hot cup of coffee or tea on a rainy day. It's just so cozy. Love it.
