I love the rain.

I guess you know when you are a true Oregonian, when you are happy it rains. The past few days have been wet, and I have been happy. To some, the rain is a bothersome, but a needed annoyance. For me, there is something I can't explain. It might be the sound of the rain as it hits the pavement. It could be the smell of freshly fallen rain drops. It's life. It refreshes and makes things grow. As the following months bring rain and then more rain, I will be outside getting wet, since I don't own an umbrella.
