Why do we stop saying Mashiv Haruach?
From Pesach until Succos, we stop saying mashiv haruach umorid hageshem in shemoneh esrei. However, we would normally say it in the second blessing of the amidah, which is where we are only praising Hashem. Therefore, why do we stop saying it just because we don't want/need it to rain, we are only praising Hashem for making it rain, not asking Him to?
