Days like today

In the Phoenix Valley there are rarely cloudy days and even fewer rainy days. I am not talking about the monsoon season in the summers either because those can come and leave really quickly. For most of the day it was cloudy but then the rain finally came. I know there are many people who weren't born and raised in Arizona and they moved here for the sun and those people usually hate days like today. I am very much the opposite of those people. The day has also been windy and you can go outside and hear the trees moving in the wind and you can smell the cold in the air. And this evening we have had our doors open with the screen doors locked and just enjoyed hearing the sound of the rain and smelling the wet earth and the raindrops. On days like today I love listening music like Nick Drake, Radiohead, One AM Radio or Sigur Ros. I enjoy quiet moments more on days like today. Today is also a great day to sit down with a book and just loose yourself in it. I know this might just totally be me but days like today I would so much rather be lazy and relax than on other days. So this is my love note to this day full of wonderful clouds, wind and rain! I love you and I miss you :)
