Rainy Day.

Today it has rained from the time I woke up, until now. 

Still raining, still pouring. 

But it is quite lovely.

Missy and I explored around Spokane today in the rain. We sat in Atticus for a while, went to a cool spot and overlooked the city, drove to another cool city spot, and ate lunch at Rockwood. All while still raining, of course. It's strange how your whole city can look different in the rain.

Rain is seriously one of the most serene things. The whole mood in the community changes, and the vibe is very evidently changed. Not always in a bad way, but just a calm way.

There is something to be said about cozying up to a good book and drinking a warm coffee while glancing out the window to the pouring rain.

There is something our society has created that puts a romantic spin on the rain. I don't know what it is....

Is it the fact that after being in it we look like drowned rats?

Is it that we start to get sticky once we dry off?

Is it the smell of our clothing starting to be mildewy?

Is it how our jeans start to seep their color?

Maybe...

But no one can deny the love we long for when it starts to rain.

But it is quite lovely.
