I got so excited when the rainy season finally hit a few weeks ago. It was so much cooler, and breezier, than it had been in months. Rain fell almost every day between 3 and 6, and the skies grew dark and morose. The best thing was to just sit in our back bedroom and listen. Preferably curled under a blanket.
I came up with a rain-themed playlist in honor of the weather change. Unfortunately, in the past few days it hasn’t rained much. Maybe this’ll spur the gods to open the skies again.
