rain, rain, oh won't you stay?

So the most wonderful thing happened the other day. I think all our roofs here are metal-ish...and I heard a tap dance of noises on the rooftop. It was raining, not just raining, but POURING. I waited just a little longer and I started to hear pinging...could it be? HAIL! Me and Morgan (Morgan being from NE too) freaked out and ran outside right away...of course you can see how that ended up. :D I must say that it was the first time I sat under a hailstorm willingly and let the little balls of ice smack me in the face...and enjoyed it! I realized how much I miss NE springtime rains...running in them, walking in them, or just sitting on the porch during a rainstorm drinking in the scents, the sounds, the crisp air. It was so refreshing. Thank you God, for the rain....what a blessing.
