Rain!

Finally, it is raining outside. The trees are leafing out and seem so much greener now that the rain has come. I guess it could be just my imagination, but those buds really seem greener, like they are wearing a wide grin at the feeling of the raindrops on their stems and branches...

All is quiet except for the hum of the rain. No birds chirping, no frogs singing; no butterflies either. It's like they are all sitting somewhere, listening, enraptured, to the symphony of rain.

It seems like I should be adding fertilizer to the garden...now that's food for thought.
