Why I love the rain
It’s the best excuse to not get out of bed … ok, the second best.
No flying insects to be seen.
Nice, soothing background noise, whether I’m in bed or not.
I don’t feel like I am missing something, like I should be outside doing something outdoorsy and athletic.
Perfect excuse to stay in and a read a book or watch an old movie.
Wiping Cody’s paws and back when she comes in from doing her business.
Gradually beginning to not fear bad thunderstorms.
My garden desperately needed it.

Why I hate the rain
My car tires are bald, and I have no traction.
Wiping Cody’s muddy paw prints off the floor.
I-95 traffic is unbearable on the sunniest of days… but today … here, have a
looksee for yourself.
No stars to view.
Small craft advisories means no sailing tonight. And it's the last race, too.
Today my lawn is beige. Tomorrow, my lawn will be 9 feet high.
Motorcycle must remain in the shed, sleeping under its covers.
