The state song of Wyoming is "Home, home on the range." Growing up there, I never thought much about the last line of that song, "and the skies are not cloudy all day." In the summer, rain would fall for about 15 minutes, then three weeks might pass before my sister and I saw another drop. Anytime it rained longer than 15 minutes, the air would cool off beautifully and we would usually run right out and play in the rain--rain was so rare, it was a treat.
Needless to say, our 'rainy-day' activity book was pulled out often out of boredom, but not once because of rain! The weather in upstate New York is just a little different... and the grass is greener too (by a long shot).
An all-time favorite rainy-day activity: making forts!
