After months of no rain, at least none more than a few muddy splatterings unworthy of mention…after all this time, we were blessed with rain during the night.
The neighbourhood was silent except for the sound of the welcome soft pitter-patter of raindrops on hard surfaces, washing away the dust.
It was an amicable union of earth and rain, with earth seeming to sigh audibly, releasing satisfying tones that filled the air with peace and harmony.
Rain brings innate joy and this morning, the birds in the tiny crevices in the walls of my house scurry merrily and make delightful chirping supplications to gaia.

I love it when it rains in Saudi. It cleans everything — my thoughts and my soul. And it reminds me of my youth in the Philippines when a sound of rain on our roof would lull me to sleep at night.
That was fun! A rare treat.
loved it .. made my day =)
rain, milk, chocolate cookies, blanket and a good book.
nothing compares to that.
The sound of the rain brings peace and joy, and makes all creatures happy. That is unless there is too much rain. Sometimes we want it to stop so we can enjoy the beauty of the cherry blossoms. I wish for more rain for you, Jewaira, and less for us — at least right now, when the blossoms are out.
I wish I could send you some of ours. We’ve been averaging one day of sun to every 6 days of rain.
It was an amazing rain! I loved it and it cleaned Kuwait! And it felt so fresh after that!
Yesterday, Friday was another beautifully rainy day with a brisk wind. It was really a blessing after such dry weather all winter long
