Listen...

Listen to the sound of the wind howling in the trees, to the rain hitting the ground...

I woke in the night to hear heavy rain. I thought I'd hear the same this morning, but my early morning rising brought the sound of wind without rain, so I decided to take advantage of the dry to head out for an early morning walk. In spite of more impending rain I chose to walk attired in my normal summer shorts and sleeveless shirt, figuring that if it started raining while I was out that I would either be wet from sweat within a rain jacket or wet from the rain. Yup, it started raining within 5 minutes of my leaving home. No bother... I was soaked by the time I arrived home again.

A walk in the rain, a good start to the day...
