There is a song, "Up on the roof" by "The Drifters" that is very fitting for this post.
If you can't see it from the ground level of the house, then simply climb on the roof. So I spent some time in the late afternoon yesterday on the roof. I always talk about spending time out in nature, in order to clear one's mind, and this song also seems to agree with me, if you read the words of the song.
Come and see what I got.
Firstly, I had to find a spot on our roof that eliminates the roof tops of the other houses.
Finally, I knew that it would rain soon - which it did, heavily last night.
Here is the lyrics of the song.
The Drifters, Up on the Roof, 1962.
When this old world starts getting me down
And people are just too much for me to face (Up on the roof)
I climb way up to the top of the stairs
And all my cares just drift right into space (Up on the roof)
On the roof, it's peaceful as can be
And there, the world below can't bother me
Let me tell you now
When I come home feeling tired and beat
I go up where the air is fresh and sweet (Up on the roof)
I get away from the hustling crowds
And all that rat race noise down in the street (Up on the roof)
On the roof's the only place I know
Where you just have to wish to make it so
Let's go up on the roof (Up on the roof)
At night, the stars put on a show for free
And, darling, you can share it all with me
I keep-a tellin' you
Right smack dab in the middle of town
I found a paradise that's trouble-proof (Up on the roof)
And if this world starts getting you down
There's room enough for two up on the roof (Up on the roof)
Up on the roof (Up on the roof)
Oh, come on, baby (Up on the roof)
Oh, come on, honey (Up on the roof)
Everything is all right (Up on the roof)

And so if life gets you down, simply pop up on the roof :)
A happy Sunday to all and I hope that you enjoyed the post.
And That's All Friends.
