Perfect Rainy Day

Umbrella frayed, raindrops dripping through
Clouds riddled with holes, sunlight streaming rays
A grand and perfect rainy day

Raindrops collecting into

puddles

Small

bodies of water floating leaf boats
A child’s imagination sprouts

Small seeds germinate, send up shoots
Reach for the sunlight, sip raindrops
The farmer smiles at his emerging crops

I admire my flowers dancing in the rain
Smell the showered air and damp earth
Whisper a thank you for Earths  rebirth

Spring is in the air….

 

The rain has stopped…

So much rain I was busy building an ark, kidding of course. But did we ever get rain……….It has been cold the last two days and today mid 60’s again. I see that the rain helped some of my new bulbs shoot up, I’m surprised that the armadillo missed them.  There is a God! Actually I know there is a God and he is awesome.  I would not be here today if not for him and the power of prayer.

I felt bad for the birds so I kept the feeders full they ate $25.00 worth of food in two days and many hid from the wind and rain on my porches and in the carport. I’m not too fond of cowbirds but they need to eat too. There were two pair of blue birds in the flower bed this morning. My window was to spotty from the rain I couldn’t get pictures. I really hope they will take up residence in the new bird houses I put up this winter.

I am so anxious for spring, I can’t stay away from the gardening sites and catalogs. Keeping the mail man/woman busy delivering. I can’t believe I spent so many years in Michigan winters, about six months of winter in my opinion. I do miss the summer and fall. Well I’m off to read gardening catalogs on the porch and watch the water recede. Have a glorious Saturday……
