April showers bring May flowers...so how do you celebrate the rain? Here's what our team likes to do in the when the weather gets wet and drizzly. 

Erika: "I love how everything blooms in April! I also adore the April showers and think gray, overcast skies have so much more personality than plain blue above. One of my favorite things to do when the wet stuff is coming down is to work on my laptop on our new deck furniture. Because our deck is covered (see it below), I can work outside even when it's raining which is wonderful! I also love thunder and lightning. It's rare, but awesome when it happens!" 

Emily: "I love the rain! It's my favorite type of weather. In fact, it's why I chose to go to college in the Pacific Northwest and settle down here after getting married. Even as an adult, I love to slip on my rain boots and run around splashing in puddles. I also love the smell of rain on the asphalt and sound of it on my skylight. When I'm inside, it's the perfect weather to get cozy inside with a warm blanket, a comfortable movie and freshly baked cookies." 

Beth: "I love the rain and especially enjoy the sound when I'm sleeping at night; it's so peaceful! When I was younger I would stand in the rain at night because it was so refreshing. One of my favorite activities on a drizzly day is to make warm tomato soup and toasty grilled cheese sandwiches. They have always been some of my go-to comfort foods!" 

Natalie: "I love falling asleep to a storm! I also don't hate going on a walk in the rain given that I am prepared with the proper shoes."
