I just love the soft pit-pat of rain on a tin roof. The cozy comfort of listening to the softly falling raindrops on the rooftop as you pull the covers up snugly on a lazy Saturday morning. I wonder if it comes from that early survival gene from our ancestors when they were constantly seeking warmth and comfort from predators and the elements. All I know is that I find it extremely satisfying to hear the rain, and to watch it falling softly on a dreary day. And to smell the freshly cleaned earth after a good rainfall.

I find joy in the simple things of life, and a softly falling rain is one of them.

I also like to enjoy a good bowl of homemade potato soup on a rainy day. So, here is my recipe for potato soup. I hope you enjoy it!
