Rainy Day Imagery

What could be more evocative than a rainy day? The sound of the rain hitting the roof or pinging against the pavement. The fresh, crisp scent of the rain in the rain-washed air. The sight of heavy dark clouds overhead, lights shining in the windows of neighborhood homes, or headlights cutting through the darkness and illuminating the rain slanting to the ground. The sensation of raindrops hitting the top of your head, or your skin - warm or cold depending on the season. Taste? Well, with all the pollution in the air, I wouldn't necessarily recommend tasting the rain.

Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head (BJ Thomas)

***Thinkin' about you today, Grandma. And missing you, especially as rainy days always make me think of *Our Song.* ***
