Rained A Bit

It rained a bit earlier in the day. The air was filled with petrichor, that nice earthy smell you get when it suddenly rains after a dry period.  when the dried up roots of plants excrete oils to keep them alive, the rain reacts with the oils and the dormant bacteria in the ground. It is a lovely smell, similar to the smell of the tide going out at the coast. 

I think that is one reason I would love to build a veranda house one day. I wrote about that on another blog post titled Veranda House . 

It would be nice to sit on a sheltered porch and drink coffee or tea while it is raining. Listen the the rain drops and breathe the petrichor though my nose. For a little while I just think of nothing, I just accept that I am in this world and apart of it for a short time. The simple joys are the best sometimes.
