Rain!

It is raining here! I have learned this past year that I love rain so much! It's amazing that when you don't have something you really learn to appreciate it.

It rained a week ago or so, also. It was the first time it had rained this year, I think. When it started thundering I thought that there were some really big explosions happening on base. I was very surprised to find out that it was thunder! The only problem, though, is that when it does rain, it doesn't rain for very long -- 10 minutes or so.

Each time it rains I love to stand outside with my face up and just let it fall on me. (I stand out in the backyard so my neighbors don't think I'm too crazy.) I just love the feel of water. Water seems like such a rariety anymore that I can't ever seem to get enough of the feel and smell and look of it.
I guess that's what I get for living in a desert!
