Rain, glorious rain!!

I live in the desert. Well, the entire state is considered the desert, and I live in what is more like a flat forest: some trees and mountains and cooler temperatures than a desert, but it's a desert still the same. And this desert is always in danger of droughts and fires. That's why we rejoice in rain. We haven't had much to speak for in a very long time. Today it rained. And it's still raining. It's such a lovely sound. I love sleeping at night, hearing the distant thunder and the raindrops dancing on the roof and windows. It makes for such a restful night. Ahhh...
