Rain on the Roof

Rain on the roof – Yes, a real pleasure for me going back to about 5 years old when my father added a back porch to the house. It was large and “screened in”. It had a metal roof and when it rained hard it was almost deafening and when it rained softly it mildly amplified the sound so you could hear each drop individually hit the roof. I could hear it in my little bedroom and sometimes I remember lying on the glider on the porch and just listening to the rain and smelling the rain soaked garden smells. Hmmm.
