The other day we had one of those fun rain showers. You know
the kind, not raining to hard, no thunder or lightening. Just plain fun!!
Andi Beth had been begging to play in the rain, so this
Saturday afternoon seemed perfect. She had been to milk the cow, so she had on
rain boots and play clothes. I said why not. Then I went in and grabbed my
camera and my umbrella and followed her.
We live on a dead end dirt road so this makes a great place
to play, and the road was just wet enough to provide a place for her to run and
slide.
There was a pretty big mud puddle that I pointed out to Andi
Beth. So, of course, she took off for it.
I love to see her expressions as she plays!
I love the mud puddles for several reason. First when she
was learning to talk Andi Beth called them “mud cuddles.” Also, last summer
when we were in the drought, Andi Beth was very worried that there was no mud
puddles. When it finally did start raining, she would be so excited, and would
shout, “Mommy, Mommy there are mud puddles outside!”
There was a country
song some years back that had the line……”it is not raining on my parade, I am
parading in the rain.” That is what we do here in the country……..Parade in the
Rain and Jump in Mud Puddles
