Rain came today, after a stretch of more than two weeks of dry, end of summer weather. After some intermittent showers, one of which caught me at the farmer's market, umbrella warm and dry back in the car, the peak of the storm came in early afternoon.
Not a cloudburst, but steady rain, pelting down onto the street, rooftops and yards. I opened a couple of windows to let in the cool, fresh air, and more of the sound of raindrops splashing to earth. It's a calming sound, especially when the whole landscape - all the flora and fauna - are welcoming the much needed moisture.
It was a perfect setting for an after lunch nap, so I lay down on the floor, closed my eyes, and listened to the patter of the rain until I fell asleep. When I woke, the rain was over; the sky a little brighter, and I was a little more refreshed.
