What are your favorite things to do when it is raining

If it's raining hard I like to relax with a ghost book. I also like to sit on the porch and watch the rain and smell the petrichor. It's very relaxing. That's a real word :) Petrichor is the odor of rain. I've been trying to improve my vocabulary.

get you and your fancy words lol, how do you pronounce that, petrichor ?

petrichor (PET-ri-kuhr) noun


The pleasant smell that accompanies the first rain after a dry spell.

[From petro- (rock), from Greek petros (stone) + ichor (the fluid that is supposed to flow in the veins of the gods in Greek mythology). Coined by researchers I.J. Bear and R.G. Thomas.]

"Petrichor, the name for the smell of rain on dry ground, is from oils given off by vegetation, absorbed onto neighboring surfaces, and released into the air after a first rain." Matthew Bettelheim; Nature's Laboratory; Shasta Parent (Mt Shasta, California); Jan 2002.

"But, even in the other pieces, her prose breaks into passages of lyrical beauty that come as a sorely needed revivifying petrichor amid the pitiless glare of callousness and cruelty." Pradip Bhattacharya; Forest Interludes; Indianest.com; Jul 29, 2001.
