… we are receiving some much needed rain this morning. It began raining just after I went to bed. Sometime during the night I could hear it pounding against my window. Awoke to lovely puddles of water. The little boy within was enticed enough to want to jump in them.
A light mist was falling as I walked to the bus stop. About an hour later it was a steady rain again. I sat in one of the lounge chairs at the coffee shop, looking out the window and watching the refreshing gift descending. Like snow there is a certain silence in gentle rain, when we pause and listen. I listened this morning. Everything smells fresh and new. I feel the coolness on my body and there is rejoicing in my spirit, even a giggle. Have a wonderful day!

I love how the focus on the raindrops represents a “looking within,” and keeps the outside world “out there” and out of focus.
It’s great to see you are getting some much-needed rain. Hopefully that will help keep things from being too dry as summer approaches.
It’s OK to splash in the puddles just a bit!

Yes, even had more rain last night. Awoke to fog and 100% humidity. And, the mountains got some nice snow. Should see 70 degrees today. Glad we agree on the muddles!!!
