Rain in September

I love going on a ride after it rains.  I say that now-in Sept.  Come March, I may not be so happy about the rain.  But it's been a normal long dry hot summer, so in Sept I can appreciate the rain.  It smells so good, the dust is down, no wet slippery spots yet, the horses have been worked all summer so they are obedient (for the most part), it's not freezing cold yet, the poison oak isn't so "juicy" so it's harder for me to get a rash, animal prints are easier to identify, the "naked ladies" are blooming, did I mention that it smells so good....  I'm sure there are other things that will come to mind after I finish writing.
