雨は人を慰む、人の心を医す、人の気を和平ならしむ。真に人を哀ましむるものは、雨にあらずして風なり。(後略)
[Ame wa hito wo nagusamu, hito no kokoro wo isu, hito no ki wo odayaka narashimu. Shin ni hito wo kanashimashimuru mono wa, ame ni arazushite kaze nari. (Kōryaku)]
Rain soothes people, heals people's hearts, calms people's spirits. What truly saddens people is not rain, but wind. (The rest omitted)

Luckily I had a short #Humpday. It rained briefly but Kengo didn't mind lying on wet grass. Of course, hydrangeas love the rain.
I'm hearing thunder from the SE, hoping it just brings rain and washes the air a bit.
From 88 deg F (31 C) to 62 F (17 C) overnight. After the storms it's just been (and still is) a mostly steady rain. I can hear lots of different frogs in the woods behind the house. Sitting near an open window with a cup of coffee listening to it all. #ilwx #nature #rain #spring #storms #frogs #morning

This echo was recorded on my phone, on Apr 29, 2022 in Stanley Park.
This was at Beaver Lake, one of my favorite places in the park.
Since moving to Vancouver, I've come to enjoy walking in the rain. I find it very soothing.
Old #rain magic, tested for you: People used to say ‘If I lay out #laundry to #bleach now, the missed rain will come after all!’ I washed white clothes and hung them up. Now they're getting wet again. Yeah!
Traditional #bleaching: On sunny days, people laid down wet white laundry on grass, and waited that the sun did its work https://tashamillergriffith.com/2012/07/25/sun-bleaching-yup-it-still-works/ (never use chlorine bleach if you want to keep the fabrics for a long time.
