Rain report? Posted by Cruz G on July 28, 2023, 9:15 am Hola, Daniel H. It rained quietly night before last. Or was I dreaming because I didn't see you post the rain report? Not that it's required but I look forward to it and appreciate it. Cruz

Keep dreaming though Where I sleep now I have an asbestos roof which makes it really easy to hear even the slightest rain, which I love. Most homes are constructed in a way that makes it difficult to impossible to hear rain on the roof. I am building a house which will have aluminum panel over two of the overhangs by the bed, just so I can hear the rain better. That sound is right up there with bird songs The birds they sang At the break of day Start again I heard them say Don't dwell on what Has passed away Or what is yet to be https://genius.com/Leonard-cohen-anthem-lyrics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jzl0NlTmzY

Re: Rain report? Posted by Dennis F on July 28, 2023, 6:33 pm, in reply to "Re: Rain report?" Amen to that, Daniel. It's meditative...it's hypnotic...it's the reassurance that no matter how badly the world gets ####ed up there's likely to be rain somewhere. Especially up here in the PNW.

Re: Rain report? Posted by Jane G on July 29, 2023, 8:49 am, in reply to "Re: Rain report?" Agreed, D'est, the sound of gentle rain on a metal roof is divine. To that end, I had metal awnings installed above all my doors and windows, including the bedroom's. Alas, when it rains really, really hard for an extended period of time, as happens here upon occasion, that beautiful sound morphs into a nonstop barrage of mortar fire landing directly on my awnings. AAARRGH, make it stop! Just sayin'.
