- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “RAIN ON ME!” and…
- BONUS QUESTION: Tell us your favorite way to make the most of a rainy day. Do you catch a movie? Curl up with a book (or blog)? Or just sit and dream about filling up a rain barrel?

A rainy day definitely calls for a good book and curling up on the couch with a cozy blanket. Or sometimes I like to head to the mall and shop when it rains – the parking garage keeps the rain off, and the rain keeps people away. Gotta love that!

RAIN on ME !.!.!.!
Me and my kiddos love the rain. We usually put on bathing suits and crocks and go play in the driveway. One of my favorite memories with my husband was in the rain right after we got engaged. We just went for a walk, and laughed at ourselves while everyone watched from windows, pointed, and stared. Getting rained on makes warming up that much better.

RAIN ON ME!
i LOVE rain. and have always wanted a rain barrel. i put galvanized tubs under the down spouts, but they just over flow. if it rained, i would sit and watch it rain because everything here is dry and it hasn’t rained in 40 days and 40 nights or longer. my grass is yellow. one time when it rained, i went out on the front porch fully clothed and washed my hair in the rain. :D
Katie says
