Find the Story Friday!!!! Rain, rain - GO AWAY!

I generally love it when it rains.  I love the sound of it.  I think I've mentioned this before, but I love to sit in my car off-road somewhere, recline my seat, close my eyes and let the pitter-patter of the water lull me.  It's strangely magical.

However... when I'm not sure Winter has ended and Spring has arrived (and it's May freakin' 20th!!!), because it rains and rains and rains and rains a little more...I kind of want to strangle rain. 

But, here's my pic of the day anyway:

What are your thoughts on rain, lately?  And can you pretty please put that in story form?  :)

Happy Friday!

Mood Music Mondays - Bat For Lashes....

I'm blaming the rain for my music choice today.  It was a long weekend full of blankety gray skies and drizzle.  Still, there's nothing quite like taking a drive in the rain, pulling to the side of a lonely rode, turning off the engine, leaning the driver's seat all the way back, closing your eyes and just listening to the pelting raindrops all around you.

It's almost surreal.  And probably why this song seemed appropriate for my mood at the time.  Words like "ethereal" and "atmospheric" sprung to mind as I listened.  And the only way to listen to this song, in my humble opinion, is loud - eyes closed, body loose, and just let it move you.

It's Bat For Lashes' "Daniel":

Love it or hate it - it's just got something.  :)  And that's what I have for you today.  Happy Monday and have a great day of writing out there!
