5 Things I Love About the Rainy Season

Hello world.

Greetings to the rain that makes my days more comfy. I have been loving the rain lately. Maybe because I have been working from home, blogging and writing. I have been reading too. Reading lines of scenes and conversations with the rhythmic beats of rain drops on the roof. That sounds so much cool and comfy.

Here are 5 things I love about the rainy season.

1. Reading during the season

2. Long cold weekend nights with comfy pillows and a good cover cloth

3. My skincare routine is on point

4. Less clothes to wash. Clothes get less dirty

5. There is less sweating.

Let’s chat: What do you like about the rainy season?

Nowhere to Place Your Feet

Hello everyone and greetings from a suburb in the city. It has been raining a lot, and everywhere is red and there is nowhere to place your feet. The umbrella is a new accessory to carry around with you. I have a rainy day outfit post coming up somewhere in June.

Anyway, it has been raining a lot, which makes us to sleep in a lot and spend more time in bed. Spending more time in bed does not mean being idle. It’s time for reading novels, checking out tumblr, pinning, blogging and when it stops raining, we go out to buy boiled or grilled corn.

As you go out, there is nowhere to step. Everywhere is wet, and as you walk, you tend to use your head a lot and your heart beats a lot. In using your head, you think and plan on where to place your feet in the next step, and your heart skips a beat because you fear you will slip or sink your feet.

As you walk, you meet different types of stagnant water.

The stagnant muddy one

The muddy one that moves

Clear looking water

The ones in the gutter that sounds like a waterfall.

The ones hiding under the ground that appears when you step on the ground.

 Once again, greetings from a suburb in the city, but this time, with nowhere to place your feet.

Wet Grounds

Nowadays, the big Sky has been crying in Winneba, and alongside going into the avatar state. Ever since I moved to Winneba, this semester has been the rainiest period yet.

Winneba is now a wet town. Everywhere you step, it is wet, and your footwear will automatically carry wet soil into your rooms. Accidentally too, your footwear would carry some sample of mud into your toes. Argh!

Similarly, there are wet grounds in our lives, which we usually term as uncomfortable situations. Life has wet grounds, which takes mud into our shoes or even worse, destroy the soles of our footwear. No matter what, it is for a small moment (Unless, you are leaving in a waterlogged area). No matter what, you have to take time to remove all the annoying mud that has invaded the sandals, or shoe or boot. No matter what, the sun will definitely come out for us to dry them.

Even though, the rain brings uncomfortable situations, the green plants and trees do benefit from it. Have you ever noticed how the trees behave after, it has rained? Usually, they smile and become calm, and fresh looking. During the rain, that is their cleansing period. They get rid of the dirt and dust that has settled in them, even the dry leaves get cleansed. Also, they need the rain to grow healthily to produce good fruits and medicines for us to use and survive.

The best thing one can do when it is raining is to let it rain. ~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Are you also experiencing a little bit of wet grounds or yours is entirely a different kind of season?
