Raindrops keep falling on my head

It was raining earlier today; a beautiful, calming, fresh rain; not the usual sticky rain of summer that cools not, neither does it refresh. I walked out in it, and felt good. Such a plain word, good, but what other words could I use? Too many would spoil the broth.

It's one of my favourite sounds, the falling of rain and the swish of tires on pavement through it.

I wish it were raining right now. It'd be lovely to lay in bed waiting for sleep, with the sound of wind in trees and rain on streets lulling me. I don't think there are sounds more soothing than those.

I wonder what it is about the rain, that so many find so magical.
