Have you ever seen the rain? coming down on a sunny day.
living along the coast for most of my middle years (5-7 ish), I have learned a few things. one, i realized that camping in December is unbearable, and two, that I enjoy rainy, and stormy weather. I would say that one of my favorite time of the year is between October and April, when it's supposed to be rainy (except for this year apparently).
I think the reason that i enjoy this time of year is because of the change from between 100 degree weather to 70-60 degree weather, and you can tell when the temperature drop happens. another reason is the fact that rain sometimes lasts days at a time and never seems to stop. what is even more enjoyable is when the power goes out too, which gives you a reason to read books under candle light, and it makes you actually enjoy the outside more since that is the only thing that you can really hear (for me at least)
something that i remember from my past that really stuck with me is when i went camping with my dad and brother. we usually camped at our normal place (Navarro) however, we never went during January. i remember how we were debating on if we should put the fly over the tent or not, thankfully we did. that night was one of the worst storms that could have been experienced, hail, thunder, lightning, wind, and worst of all, holes in the tarp. very soon after the tent was soaked, inside and out, and we only got around 4 hours of sleep that night. however, with the horrible storm that we just experienced, we were rewarded with a beautiful day the next morning, and then experienced more rain right after.
