Benefits of Rain
Anyone who lives in New England knows it’s been raining nonstop for at least a month, if not longer. Makes it hard to do summer things like hiking, biking, swimming, picnicking & photographing. Yes, I can still do them, but somehow biking through a thunder and lightening storm doesn’t feel particularly appealing.
I will say that as a result of the excess rain my yard looks lush & lively. The once parched lawn boasts wall to wall green, without any watering or adding of nasty fertilizers (something I don’t use anyway.) My own skin & hair feel amazingly moist. Two summers ago when the area experienced a drought my hair became so dry I thought it might ignite if I got anywhere near a flame. I will also say that the endless rain has given me more time to read, visit museums and work on my new essays.
As someone mentioned to me the other day, rain is just water.
