I miss rainy days that smell like grass and leaves and flowers and trees. I miss getting water soaked underneath a cloudburst. I miss the chill of a clean breeze. I miss the soft dewy moss underneath my bare feet. I miss the titter tapper of the droplets on the roof. I miss rainbows and cool sunshine.

I loved playing in the rain when I was young and all soaked up. I love cuddling in the bed when it rains and a cup of hot chocolate. And yes, I definitely love the rainbow 🙂
