There isn't much sun round these parts. Everyone knows we live in the rainiest state in the country, but those are just words until you live here and experience it.
Our family loves rain, we always have. I love waking up every morning to fog, perma-mist, and deep rich colors that only rain can bring out in nature.
It really is another world here. Walking on the grass(which is green year round) is like walking on a sponge. It can look like it is pouring outside because everything is soaked, but when you step outside, you just don't get wet. That's because the rain drops are so small, they are more of a think mist than rain.
And the best part? It's not humid. (this is amazing for a curly haired girl)
Another positive? When the sun is out... You appreciate it.
And that, is exactly what we did last week.
Out came the sun, up went the temperature (to a whopping 77 degrees:), so out came the water toys!
Another thing the rain brings out? Frogs! They are small, Bright green, and not very friendly. But, within minutes my boys became master frog catchers:)
We played, we swam, we shivered, we laughed and we layed in the sun all afternoon.
And another thing about living here? 3 hours in the sun, and not a drop of color. Not even in the shade of red.
Well at least my blinding white legs are the same color as everyone else's here :)
