Oh!! How I Love It When It Rains
79
A rain shower is the best thing that happens, it washes away all the unwanted things and cleans the atmosphere. It falls on the plants; flowers and the earth making all these wonders of nature look all the more wonderful, and attractive. The rainbow formed after the rains have a matchless beauty.
Rains bring in a renewed charm and beauty in the environment. Small mushroom umbrellas grow all over and the flowers look fresh as ever as if newly painted and the berries look juicer. I like everything about the rains. I love looking up and letting the rain drops falls on my face. I love how my garden smells after it rains; the sweet smell of earth feels like bliss.
“A feeling of sadness and longing that is not akin to pain, and resembles sorrow only as the mist resembles the rain”

Enjoy the down pour when it doesn’t rain
I guess the rain showers have been designed especially for those who love rains and miss drenching when there are no rains. They also have shower valves and you can adjust for a heavy downpour and a soft drizzle. You can also decorate the area around with some colourful mini umbrellas, mushroom hooks and appropriate shower accessories.
Some heart drenching poems on rain:
The rain is falling all around,
It falls on field and tree,
It rains on the umbrellas here,
And on the ships at sea.
By Robert Louis Stevenson
The rain has an art that I may not get,
So I stand still here and get soaking wet.
I feel so complete when I’m in the rain,
I feel no sorrow I feel no pain,
It may give me a cold but I don’t care,
There’s a calming sensation from grass to air,
The feeling of love I don’t have, I will gain,
Because my heart falls open as I stand in the rain.
Unknown poet
Enjoy the rains
In the rainy season you can see lot of colour full umbrellas, rainy season boots and dresses. The colourful trench coats are another thing that I look forward to wearing.
I loved the rains since when I was a kid. A heavy downpour meant a holiday at school. My dad taught us how to make paper boats and me and my friend floated them in the puddles. Well one thing my dad said that rain takes away all the healthy soil and it goes into the sea. So we should plant more trees so that the fertile soil doesn’t go away with the rain water but instead it retains it inside. This will keep the soil health throughout the year and increase the ground water levels.
The rains apart from bringing in a renewed beauty in the atmosphere and everything around us are very important and provide us with water throughout the year by filling in our rivers. The downpour is god’s way of making us feel blessed. The rains wash away all our sorrows and difficulties and also help the growth of healthy crop.

hey!! hi iZeko, then i think it should rain for 10 minutes after every 10 mins :-) but if not the rains you can enjoy the sunshine after the rains have stopped, and the rainbow definately..and you can sure add some steaming hot recipe hub to gorge on while it rains...:) A reason for you to smile when its raining outside...
Hi carrie, Oh I am so with you on this one, I love and adore rain, always have and one of my biggest 'hates' is the rain stopping, I know that's a bit odd and I can't explain it but I just hate it when it stops!
Lovely hub, thanks for sharing and voting up
oh yes movie master i can understand!! but if it dosent ever stop it can bring floods, and then well have to make a noahs arc:-)and then what about the rainbows.. thanx for taking time to read and leaving a wonderful comment. and thanx for the vote up as well..keep enjoying whenever it rains.:D
This was so beautiful, carry. I love rain and it remind me about my hub about "weird rain phenomenon". I liked your perception about rain. Rain is naturally happened to this earth. Like my "vote" above that sweet smell of the earth after rainy. It sound great when the rain falling after dry season, it always happened in my country which has two seasons. I always enjoy the rain. It should be a romantic moment for me. Carrie, you have done such a beautiful work here. You got my vote. Cheers....
Prasetio
hi prasetio nice to see you..yes i saw your hub "weird rain phenomenon" and voted intresting..the frogs raining is really a wierd phenomenon..but i love the normal rain, the plain water that comes as a blessing.. i love every thing about it, the smell, the sound of rain fall, the romantic weather.. good to know you too like it, so hope theirs always a healthy amount of rainfall everywhere...
thanx for the encouraging comment.and the vote
Rain is the best, it cleans the air and everything off. The smell and the way it sounds is wonderful. I know it sounds strange but I too love the rain! Thanks for sharing carrie!
hi dear chatkath!! thanx for commenting.. good to know that you love rains, just as i do!!yes i think its a fabulous feeling, the smell of the wet earth and the sound of rain "Pitter Patter raindrops, Pitter Patter raindrops, I'm wet through"
Hi, I love the rain! but only when it has been a really hot day and we need some relief, then I go outside and just let it drop on my head, lovely hub! cheers nell
hey hi nell..yes the rains are the most welcome when the temperatures are soaring high...thanks for going through the hub and your lovely comments.. cheers..:-)
Carrie have you counted your followers answers? mostly they are the ladies? why? It might be that ladies feel more romantic on those days?
Very lovely hub Dear Heart. God Bless You. Beautiful pictures.
hey good observation lord.. it didnt occur to me..i guess ladies feel more romatic and are more expressive about it too..what about u? do u love it when it rains?
thanx for reading and commenting..
Hey stars nice to see you..and thanx for your kind words and loving the hub!! god bless you too dear heart!!
Oh how I would love to have a rain shower installed in my bathroom! Whenever I stay at hotels that have them I just can't wait to hop in the shower.
I am originally from the UK too - it's nice to meet you here on HubPages.
hi cloverleaf!! nice to meet you too and thanks for your comments!!
The point here is genetics and inherited behavior. See how you accent is British? or Perhaps northumbrian or going back more Gaelic....I better stop about this going back too far..lol. All started at the cave, or in Adam and Eve's times, for our Christian fellows. Rain causes so many reactions depending on your background...just an example: Depending on how you mom(mum in UK) reacted to rain when you were a little girl, your reactions were copied faithfully. Most women get romantic due to the relation to water and beautiful nites with their male counterpart, basically due to forced staying at home and catching up with that 'togetherness'....I might as well write a hub about this subject lol...with your permission mademoiselle Thomson. What about me? I get ver romantic I can feel sweet feelings and share it with the right person... but nevertheless I tried to naswer your main question. Have a nice one !
wo! that was a long one.. well great thinking and relating it to inheritance and all sorts of things :D well rains are simply beautiful and good to know you too get very romantic and share them with the right person :) looking forward to an excellent hub from you!!
carrie
Well carie Thanks! Probably by now you are reading my hub that was inspired by you lol! SECRETS OF WOMEN DECODED. Had to write it right away..as soon as inspiration knocked my soul and heart last night.
Oh yes already read through it!! :D felt so nice... that not only the hub the comments section was also inspirational :-) comments on hubs are so varied even tho they are pertaining on a single topic, it is intresting to read comments on ppls hubs!! and you went a step ahead to find inspiration and actually write an hub about it! great
There was this lady that wrote: Well I like your style..but I must disagree, I better shut my mouth.
well so u see now decoding women and their secrets is almost impossible, u feel like you've reached their but alas... u suddenly realise, way to go man!! you have an example here!! a lady who likes your style of writing but agrees to diagree...:D
Carrie-I am with you when it comes to rain. I love watching it rain, listening to the rain and going out in the rain. When I was a kid, we use to wash our hair when it was pouring out. One of those magical moments that you never forget. Thanks for all the variety in your hub about rain. It was fun and peaceful :-)
hey minnetonka thanx for following. great to know that you love the rains!! and you found this hub intresting and fun. our wavelenths seem to match:) ill catch up on your hubs soon:) keep visiting
carrie
Talking about catching up Carrie. LOL! See how Minetonka is a proof of what I said above? Shhh! Now about, what's her name? Well, 'the lady who agrees on disagreeing' Women can be a pandora box, but when it rains...all feel like in Pandora, from the movie Avatar. Words like," you got my attention to the very end, or, I didnt realise that!... women get romantic after a rainy day. You see how me and Prasetio30 are the only males in here? LOL!
ENJOY!...thinking to write another hub tonite? any advice?
Oh yes the Pandora in avatar was fab, sad that its fiction and there no such place in real. And when it rains it’s almost like being thee :) so in way you are rite...
Ya you prasetio30 and stars439 as well.. That pic you see is his daughters.
Well I just caught up on your hubs and saw that i was quite late in doing so and I have a lot to catch up :D
I would suggest you write a hub about women’s secrets decoded II and the scenic beauty of Pandora
Lol; perfect!!
When growing up in central Florida--long before WDW brought growth and tourism--we had afternoon showers everyday at 4:00. It was like clockwork and it was very refreshing on those hot afternoons. Then we had the occasional hurricane--much needed by the islands in the Atlantic so they could have fresh water to drink--but wow the rain! We had astounding rain storms at night sometimes. I liked the rain then too, but that lightening was fierce and the thunder claps would go right through you!
Hi r talloni, yes i do agree that thunder claps and lightening can be frightening, rains can only be enjoyed when it drizzels and creats a great atmosphere rather than being thunderous and fierce. But what is amazing about the rains is that it represents so many emotion. poets have used rains to show happiness, gloom, anger, heroic acts and so many other endless emotions and it all depends on the intensity, timing and the mood of the individual when it rains. i can go on and on about this giving examples . but stopping at this i would say,
i just love it when it rains.
carrie
What a Delightful Hub, Carrie...It's so upbeat and Fun. We Love walking in the rain, even on the beach it's so serene.

carrie.
hahaha!!
Nothing puts me to sleep like a good rain....love the soothing sound. And one of my favorite quotes is rain related. "Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it is about learning to dance in the rain."
This is a beautiful hub about rain, Carrie. You've described all the best aspects of a rainstorm. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Hi janices7. thanx for visiting and sharing that beautiful quote:)
carrie
Hey Alicia!! thank you for the complements :) Yes definately there are negatives to every thing, similar is the case with rains and specially when accompanied with a storm, but why not enjoy the brighter side when you cant do much about the negatives:) philosophical
carrie
This is the driest Texas has been since 1895, when the state began keeping rainfall records. Our rainfall is running more than 20 inches below normal. It's been over 70 days with temperatures of over 100 degrees F. How I long for rain ... I will take any kind, misting, drenching, a cloudburst, a shower, thunder and lightning, can you imagine how the plants will rejoice? Please, you lucky people, send some positive thoughts our way ... thank you!
Yes i guess theres a draught condition in texas and the southern region right now!! hope it changes soon and you get good drenching downpour.
carrie

carrie
An interesting hub, carrie, and so many comments! I find the rain soothing and freshening, but I wouldn't want it to carry on for days like it can do.
Best wishes.
yes I feel good receiving soo many comments!! All the fellow hubbers including you :) have been generous with their comments and appreciation!! Too much of anything is bad and too much of rains are not welcome either :) just a drizzle a downpour some sunshine and a rainbow!
I love the rain. I love to hear it on the house and I love to go out and feel it on me. Thank you for this lovely Hub. I enjoyed this journey with you.
Hi james!! the journey has just begun ;) hope to see you all along till the end!! thank you for the comment and appreciation :))
I love the rain! Must be the gardener in me appreciating the blessing that God is giving when He does the watering for us! :o)
It is raining right now here in central Texas! It's 2:15 p.m. on Friday, September 16, 2011, and it is raining! Perhaps 100 days have gone by since we've seen rain. I am so happy and the trees and bushes and grasses are just drinking it in. It started about ten minutes ago and I ran outside and felt it falling on me. Isolated tiny cold drops, then a little more, then more, and now it is a drenching pounding shower. I had forgotten how rain smelled, sounded, felt! Oh I am so thankful for this rain. (Happy dance!)
Oh I am so happy for you!! Hope it falls just the right amount for enriching the soil and flourishing the fields and filling hearts with happiness!! And may no place on earth have to face the draught!! Good wishes to you Silva and enjoy while it rains!! :)))) (ya a very happy dance to the tunes of the rain, and you can even sing along)
What a beautifully sensible graceful set of thought-words!
Very enjoyable read, and I especially loved your dew-dropped rose. I voted but wanted to punch two buttons rather than one...
Hi thank you froggy fish!! you are always welcome to visit my hubs and punch in the vote up button ;)
I love it when it rains in the night with cool breeze blowing my face. So awesome. Thanks
hey sorry i took a long time to reply back!! thanks ubani for the comments and we sure do share the love for the rains and the cool breeze!! humm cool breeze brushing your face and gently blowing through the hair is a blissful feeling!!
This past weekend we drove to Port Aransas (Texas beach) and it showered off and on all weekend. Bliss!
hummm beach and a breeze and a drizzle!! ultimate combination!! naturally you must be feeling like heaven!! truely blissful
carrie
thanks for this nice articles about article, you have selceted a wonderfull photos, voted up
hey thanks!! about article?? thanks for liking the photos and voting up!!
Hey Carrie sorry about that, but your article was amazing in a way that made me make this typo error, you express your self and the rain in very positive and alive way. so keep up the good work.
I share the same sentiments as you do, carrie. The rain brings renewal and cleanses us of the world's sin. To me, there is nothing more calming than the effect of rain. Due to the fact that I have a voracious appetite for books, I really do like being at home while it's raining outside while reading with a cup of tea or coffee. There really is nothing more relaxing and makes me appreciate the fact that I'm alive :D
What a great idea for a hub! Carry on, Carrie ;)
Dohn
:)) oh how sweet of you icciev!! thanks again for the appreciation. good day!!
hi dohn!! yes we do share the same sentiments about rain:)) reading a book is always good!! Cheers to being alive :D
carrie
I not only love rain drops falling and making bubbles but getting drenched in the rain, too. Very nice share, thanks.
Love this hub and it is raining here in the Green river Valley of WNC today.
I't been raining for about a week here in central Texas, and the drought and wildfires are in the past -- the rain is such a blessing and we are so happy to receive it.
Hi there carriethomson, great hub, I have so much catching up to do, there's so much good reading on HP. I saw your comment about "catching up", how can it be done? Anyway, Hawaii has a lot of rain, it will rain when the sun is shining, that's why we have so much rainbows. Thanks...
Hi Mr Rambansal, good to know that there are many like me who love getting out in the rains. thank you for the visit and leaving a note!!
-carrie
Hi fiddleman! thanks for visiting and hope you enjoy the rains and have a great time!
Hey silvia that's so nice and its time to rejoice!! Texas needs it after such a draught. being from a place that was draught affected i guess you would enjoy my hub "Go Green In The Bathroom" do check it out.
-carrie

I like rain only when it’s over in 10 min ;-)) But I hate the misty one that continues for days and days, because I can’t go outside.
