the wind and the rain...an early birthday present

i'm pretty sure it's raining because i've been
wanting it for so very long!
and it's raining hard.
the wind is blowing magnificently.

there are bursts of wind that make the rain spray
like there's someone holding a giant spray-bottle
right outside my window.

the rain hasn't stopped all day.
oh how we need it!
wash everything away, dear rain.
{well, don't wash away the farmer's produce! just wash away the dirt.}

thank goodness for wellies, umbrellas, ponchos, and scarves.

happy rainy day!
