Tapping On My Roof And Walls

Cloudsdale sent us a fresh load of rain clouds and the weather ponies bucked them into action today. They got Ponyville good and drenched, washing the dust off everything and soaking our green fields. It was also a hot day, outdoors. Inside the castle it's always a bit cold, but outside it was like a steam bath in comparison. I went out, walked in the rain and got soaked. Water was running down my sides, slicking my mane to my neck and dragging my tail down until it trailed behind me in the mud. It felt great! I craned my head up and just let the drops patter and splash on my face. Eventually I went back inside, found a towel and dried off. But it's cold and silent in the castle. I picked up some of my reading material, a large cushion, a pot of tea and set myself up in the doorway to one of the smaller balconies. There I could read while enjoying the warm breeze, the smell of fresh rain, and the soothing drumming of the steady rain falling on the balcony.
