100happywords: 81. Rain
It’s the smell that hits me first, almost sweet, and then the breeze, with a slight chill to it, brushes my skin.
“Is that rain?”
I look out the window and see nothing. I focus and re-focus on the middle distance and there it is, a fine mist. A few moments later I see droplets.
The smell is now overwhelming.
I go outside and, with palms outstretched, get my final confirmation. Water splashes on my arms, my face. It’s cold, invigorating.
“It’s raining!”
The drops get heavier and I hear the tin roof roar.
At last, the rain has arrived.
