Day 216: Rainy days

Hello again,
Today we have had an almost complete day of rain and it isn't the kind of rain that comes as a downpour that washes everything away. Today we have had a nice steady rain that thoroughly waters everything as it soaks into the ground. What I like about this kind of rain is that while it is gloomy outside for pretty much the entire day, it gives all the plants and trees a good drink of water without harming them. It also doesn't wash away seeds that we have just planted in the garden and it doesn't come down so fast that it runs off before it can soak in the ground. Would I prefer sunshine and warm weather? Definitely. But I also realize we need rain. I just hope that once it starts that it doesn't have trouble stopping. Days like this are also wonderful for getting stuff done inside that start to be neglected because I want to soak up every precious moment of sunshine. I do this because it seems summer is so short and then winter is back again. Downpours and thunderstorms are exciting but they don't seem to do alot for the plants. So I am thankful for rainy days. :)
