Rainy Day in Texas
Today, it is raining.
We need the rain here in Texas as we can never get enough.
Not like in England, where I came from 49 years ago.
One of the reasons for leaving was because of the incessant rain.
Three weeks of non-stop rain is enough to make anyone leave, given the opportunity.
It was not all bad. Playing soccer in the rain was fun as was playing on a wet field.
Slipping and sliding through the puddles and trying to kick the ball as it floated away.
On the days I could not work outside when it was really bad was like a holiday.
Albeit an unpaid one. Or we stayed in the shelter and played cards.
We dressed accordingly with rain slickers and wellington boots.
I hated those wellington boots. They turned your feet to mush.
You get used to working in the rain as life goes on wet or dry
.
Even more so when there are more wet days than dry ones.
Especially as we had no control over the weather.
We adapted accordingly.
Rain or shine.
Lovely. May the sun shine down upon you again soon. 🙂
Thanks. This is Texas. It always shines after the rain
I love rain, as many childhood memories are connected, especially with football. More than that, I like rainbows. Thanks for the visit and wonderful comment.
I love the rain in Texas as it is so few and far between it is almost like something special. Enough to make you stand in it just to feel it.
It still rain in Britain, as you may well know sometimes sunny, other times rain, then the dark clouds, it is like moods – that is how they call it “British weather.” I hope you have made up your mind to move away from USA, have you?
Texas rain is of the warm variety. From what I remember of the English rain, it was always cold to go along with it. And no, I have not yet made up my mind to leave the US. Maybe wait a couple more years.
a couple more years?? you must be getting younger and younger haha.
