Rain, rain come and stay


The different between a summer rain and an autumn rain.

Summer rain is wildly swift from thick, fat clouds. It is deafeningly loud with thunder and lightening. It is refreshingly cool and makes you want to run out and get sopping wet but it is over as suddenly as it began with following sunshine.

Autumn rain is unceasing under a layer of gray mist. It comes and stays and stays and stays, seeping up to coat your skin and freeze your toes and fingers. It makes you want to stay inside with a good book and a hot drink, bundle up in bulky sweaters and huddle under thick quilts.

I love the rain.
