After the Rain

A torrential rainstorm came through last night.  The rain banged so hard on my roof, it sounded as if someone was running on it.  I wonder what it would've sounded like if I had a metal roof. Would it have clanged or be very melodic?

The rain also left my garden very well watered (just perfect for today's hot weather) and with obvious tell-tale signs in the morning to let everyone know it came through.  My garden really loves all the water it's getting.  It didn't enough snow this past winter and there wasn't enough rain either.  Regardless, it will be happy with what it can get.

Have you gotten a lot of rain in your neck of the woods?
