Most days, the rain is my nemesis. But then there are moments when I see its benefits, and the beauty it inspires. Sometimes it’s just in admiration of the raindrops as they decorate flower petals. Other times it’s when the drops add a glorious sparkle to spider webs.
Truly, I loathe the rain.
And yet, I have to be thankful for rain; it’s what keeps our beautiful state so green, so alluring, so awe-inspiring. In essence, rain is what strives to drive me away, yet it keeps me here. It’s both a source of torment and a source of peace…
“Let the rain kiss you.
Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops.
Let the rain sing you a lullaby.”
-Langston Hughes

What are your continual love/hate relationships?
Life As I Pretend To Know It 
great photo(:
Thank you!
I feel the same way. A love-hate relationship for sure.
I like to think that residents in the NW might love the rain a bit more than hate it, as we all continue to endure its presence. The beauty it creates is worth it! (or so I have to remind myself during the rainy seasons)
