It seems that nearly every afternoon in the summer around 4:00 or 4:30 it rains in southern Louisiana. I have a love/hate relationship with this rain.
On the one hand I love a good storm. I love that I am sitting in my living room right now listening to the sound of the rain and feeling all safe and dry inside while being comforted by the sound of the rain outside. I also love that the grass and plants are getting a good watering everyday. The rain makes things more lush and pretty. It also brigs the heat down a bit. I love it!
On the other hand, I hate the rain. If I don't time it right, I have to run home in the rain. This afternoon I was still sitting at my desk when I heard the first drops fall. I packed up stuff quickly and sprinted across the parking lot to my house. I'm sure I look funny running in my flip flops with my backpack and screaming about dying as the lightning show picks up. This also means that water aerobics will be canceled this afternoon. And of course the humidity will pick up this evening.
Such a love/hate relationship!
Until then......
