There is something very pleasurably decadent about a rainy day.
The rich smell of wet dirt mixed with the suddenly cold air, the thunder in the distance and the ticking of the raindrops on the roof and treetops.
I’m indulging in this day, sitting in the open veranda surrounded by wet greenery, enveloped by a soft blanket and taking in the smells, sounds, colors, the touch of the wind on my skin… a feast for my senses: what a pleasant gift I got from Mother Nature just two days before leaving Italy to go back to sandy, hot, dry Mauritania! ☺
