THE SWEET SMELL OF RAIN....06/15/15

--Even though every time it rains it usually sends my day in a downward spiral. I do enjoy the sweet smell of rain. Rain seems to wash everything outside giving them a new fresh appearance. But like everything else in life to much of a good thing will usually make you feel worse.
--My wife is part duck she likes walking, standing, or even dancing in the rain. She gets a tad goofy when it rains. But that's probably what attracted me to her in the first place. That big old hidden streak of goofiness she has. Her free spirit is comical and refreshing like the rain.
--Sitting in the car waiting for the rain to stop to enter a store is not a real treat for me. Not so bad while it's going on but slightly unsettling when it's done. For some reason the muggy smell of wet parking lot reminds me of wet dogs. But that's probably just me.
--Making your way across the parking lot with a cart full of stuff is a real treat when it‘s raining cats and dogs so hard you become totally soaked by time you reach your car. Especially when your car has a sense of humor and unlocks every door except the one you’re trying to put stuff in. Of course my wife has no problem with this. The dang fool car unlocks her door every time. But what do you expect it's her car.
 --My wife believes the rain sounds romantic when you can hear the drops hit the roof of our house. She usually entices me with a candle light dinner. Preparing something special I enjoy eating. Or perhaps she does it to take my mind off all the aches and pain that comes with the sweet smell of rain....
