To me, it means a refreshing. It’s the full water tanks, refreshed paddocks and the freedom to indulge in a bath … or three!
But even more than that, it’s the aroma it leaves behind.
It’s that smell of rain when it’s on its way, when it’s in the air and I lift my nose to the sky, as if I can take it in better that way. And when it sheds its first drop … my absolute favourite is the smell of our eucy mulch as the rain re hydrates it. It’s punchy, pungent and oh so welcoming.
So when it rains next, go outside, stand in it and breath in deep. There’s really nothing like it!
