Clean Air

Yesterday it rained a lot. Today it is still raining.

Some people complain about the rain. They say: it is cold; they will get wet; it is dark and depressing; they can’t go outside; and so on.

My feeling is different. I think: the air is being cleaned; the beautiful green trees are growing; the birds and frogs and animals can drink; fresh water is being stored in the mountains for our supply; and so on.

I think growing up in rainy Washington State affects my feeling. When I was a child, we often played in the rain.

Do you like the rain? Do you hate the rain?
