Raindrops

Tonight we had a wonderful gentle rain. Since it has not rained much here, if at all, in quite a while, it was delightful to hear the patter of the rain on the roof of the motor home. It sounded so good that I had to go outside and sit under the awning to enjoy. I think I learned to like these soothing sounds when I first had a tent trailer that was put together from a kit that allowed our small family and three boys to go camping. What wonderful afternoons we had when the boys would quiet down for a rest/nap, and we would read out loud stories like Tolkin's Hobbit or Trilogy of the Rings. Best of all was the chance of an afternoon rainstorm and the rain on the canvas roof. What a magnificent sound and so restful. Happy travels.
