It makes the air smell good, often very ozone-y if there's thunder.
Also birds will act all silly, having baths and shaking their feathers, they look like they enjoy it.
Makes a hot coffee more enjoyable. (it's a fact, a hot coffee on a wet day tastes better than on a warm dry day.....)
It muffles the world, that's my favorite, the sound of the rain is nice but it also masks all the outside noises. I find that very cozy, tucked away in our own world that extends no further than the doorway with curtains of rain at every window blurring reality.
Tracey~ Yes to ALL of that!!!
Fills your bird bath for free!
It lets me embarass my sons by wearing one of my collection of bright pink raincoats when I pick them up from school!
It makes all the colors of the earth more lush, mmmmmmm. I love rain :)
I love a nice rainy day from time to time. To me it is a perfect day to curl up with a good book or take a nap!
Great additions to the list all!
