Rain is a Beautiful Thing (around here)

If you are in one of the recent flood areas, my apologies for rhapsodizing about some rain, but when dry and brown, muggy and sweltering are the norm, even the smallest amounts of rain can perk up the spirits like nothing else. Color me dazzled.

Waking up to the sound of rain on the roof usually means a quick return to slumberland; these days and nights, it is music to listen to for awhile. The air cleansed of dust and haze, the temperature moderate, the thirsty ground using every drop to make beauty. Joy and joy!

Clean air!

In a dark corner, blooms seek the light. Thank you, rain!

The rainbow eucalyptus goes bloomin' crazy to keep the honey bees happy

Have a less than torrential Thursday. Do something temerarious.
