Trendsetter...

I think I must be a trendsetter in my part of the world. ;P

It has rained a lot the last few days here where I live! I've been enjoying the weather immensely!

The first time I went out in the rain about a week ago, I got a lot of strange looks from people in cars and peeks out the neighbors windows. A few days later, I was back out in the rain, hands held out and a huge smile facing skyward. No looks this time....

The third time I went outside this weekend, I actually had several neighbors join me after I'd been outside awhile. One was a neighbor bringing out her baby daughter to enjoy the rain -- along with the child's grandmother. I'd made the comment that one is never too young or too old to enjoy "playing in the rain!!" They agreed and said they hadn't been out in the rain in a very long time.

Then another neighbor from a few doors away came outside, rolled up their pant legs and came out into the rain as well!

I think the next time it rains, we should have a block party...!!!

Woo-Hoo! Good for you! I went out and cleaned the pool in the rain ... well, I pretended I was cleaning the pool. I was actually just enjoying those raindrops!
