Rain, Rain. . . Come again another day!

I may be weird, but I like rain. When my sons were little, we used to don raincoats, umbrellas and boots and go out into the elements. We splashed through puddles, snatched worms and dropped sticks into fast-flowing currents.
Those were good times. Now, when the sky clouds up, I remember those walks. They still make me smile even amid dark clouds and falling drops.
Visiting Websites recently, I found other people who wanted to talk about rain. Some are fond of rain and others just wanted to share a laugh. (What more popular a topic than the weather!)
I hope these quotes will cheer you through the rainy month of April.

12. The best kind of rain, of course, is a cozy rain. This is the kind the anonymous medieval poet makes me remember, the rain that falls on a day when you'd just as soon stay in bed a little longer, write letters or read a good book by the fire, take early tea with hot scones and jam, and look out the streaked window with complacency. -- Susan Allen Toth
13. There will be a rain dance Friday night, weather permitting. -- George Carlin
