The sound of the rain was a balm for my soul. I felt a sense of peace and calm.
Rodney's cinemagraph
I really love Rodney's cinemagraph. It's a reminder to take a break from the fast track; to slow down and enjoy the simple pleasures around us. Sometimes, we need to stop and smell the rain.
The sound of rain reminds me of Grandma frying keropok (prawn crackers). The Hubs says he associates the sound of rain with mah jong tiles shuffling. To Rodney, it's bacon sizzling. Josh says rain sounds like someone typing on a keyboard.
What does the sound of rain remind you of?
Doesn't this sound like rain?
That's beautiful!! I hate it that my kids aren't home to teach me those things now.
ReplyDeleteI have slowed down a LOT since I walked away from my job last July. I take a lot of time to just sit out in the yard, take a walk, check on the fish and frogs...I am even raising butterflies in the house right now. It's nice to just breathe and LIVE.
Someday, Veronica Lee....we are gonna sit and enjoy tea together. :)
What a perfect thing to do on a rainy day. I love rainy days too. We don't have a lot of them, but they are refreshing and they clean the air and that's a good thing.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day and weekend. ♥
Rodney did a great job! Love it! Wish we had some rain to listen to but its been a terrible drought here, though monsoon season is upon us so one can hope we'll get some soon.
ReplyDeleteI think you had a great time waiting out the storm :)
betty
Wow! Not only are you right, that's a great way to wait out the rain -- with a cup of hot tea. But your son's photography is amazing!
ReplyDeleteHope the rest of your weekend is warm and balmy! Have a fun one.
Wow! That's pretty cool with the steam rising up
ReplyDeleteSometimes God orchestrates our circumstances so we have to slow down because we forget how much we need it!
ReplyDeleteThat chinemagraph is wonderful! You're right..I have to take a break and just enjoy the rain! Wishing you a great week!
ReplyDeleteThat looks lovely.

He most certainly has a mood that he captured for sure.
ReplyDeleteIt's been so rainy in June. It's kind of let up now. I do like coffee or tea on a rainy day.
Neat picture!! It rains here during the summer nearly every afternoon. I like to sit on my porch watching the dark clouds roll in. I usually go in when it starts to thunder and lightening though!
ReplyDeleteLove the photo It's nice to just sit and relax we get plenty of rain here. :-)
ReplyDeleteHave a relaxingtastic week :-)
I watched an amazing thunder storm the other night! Got up this morning kinda hoping for a rainy day so I didn't feel the need to go out and do something.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the picture! This is just the perfect thing for me on a rainy day. I do listen to a lot of music and drink tons of steaming tea because where I live, it does get a little too cold for my liking every time it rains.
ReplyDeleteThe picture is as if it was right in front of me and I want to take a sip... yep, just a sip because I wouldn't want to be burned. It's just something you would normally see on a cold, damp rainy day! Love it and thanks for sharing! Have a great week & weekend.
ReplyDeleteThat is super clever

I have literally been doing the same today. Sitting in my lounge listening to the pitter patter on the patio doors. #FabFridayPost
ReplyDeleteI love the sunshine, but even I am glad of this respite! Your son's cinemagraph is brilliant! #FabFridayPost
ReplyDeletevery cool pic. There is a song that goes "rain makes corn, corn makes whiskey, whiskey makes my baby frisky." No real point to that, your post just reminded me of it and gave me a chuckle #thatfridaylinky
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning picture!! Makes me really want a cup of tea ... Thank you for sharing :)

ReplyDeleteI love the sound of rain, especially when tucked up in bed at night! nothing more cosy! Thanks so much for linking up at #KCACOLS. Hope you come back again next time.
ReplyDeleteRain just reminds me of being snug inside while inside reading a book with a cuppa! #kcacols
ReplyDeleteThis is how I feel about sitting by the side of a lake or at the ocean. Its calming and a good way to re-center. Great post #KCACOLS
ReplyDeleteSounds like a perfect rainy day!
