A couple of day ago, I experienced rain for the first time in my new home. Funny how rain is different in each house. The way it falls on the roof and the sound it makes. Does it hit the windows? Front of the house? Back of the house? What about the deck? Does the patio get wet?
This house has almost no trees around it, so no chance of branches hitting the house in a storm. That's different from my previous home, and a source of some comfort. I was always a bit afraid that one of the branches would come in the window in a bad storm. The only tree around this house is next to the back fence, and if it was to uproot or lose a branch, the only thing it would hit would be the deck. Not that that's ideal, but it's better than my bedroom window.
This particular rain was a light one. Just a steady rain - no dramatic flashes. It was a soothing rain. The kind that they record for relaxation CDs. The pitter-pat on the roof made for a calm night. Yawn!
