2015 Summer Wonders #24: It’s Raining What?
A big storm blew through town the other day–we’ve had two rainless days in the past two weeks. I’ve heard of it raining cats and dogs. I’ve even heard of it raining men, but this is getting ridiculous.

Not my first rain post, nor my last–summer wonders are far more than happy people in the warm sun, pretty girls in bikinis, convertibles, surf boards, sailing boats etc. Sometimes it rains, and when it rains one has a choice, if lucky, to run for cover or embrace the gift of it. All the best…
