After the Rain

after the rain

i wandered, barefoot, through the wet grass

enjoyed the sweet aroma of the chilly air

and focused for a few moments on these pink beauties

Raindrops on Sweaters?

There was a new patch of something growing by the deck at my in-laws this summer.

These curious stems popped up from amidst the leaves.

Sage colored leaves that stayed close to the ground.

When I got close up to the leaves to catch the water droplets

after the sprinklers had done their thing in the morning...

...well

all I could think of was that Sound of Music tune.

The one that starts out, "Raindrops on roses."

But the closer I got to these "leaves" the more they looked like they'd been hand knit.

So...

I started humming,

"Raindrops on Sweaters..."

Summer Rain

"Like a welcome summer rain,

humor may suddenly cleanse and cool the earth,

the air and you."

Langston Hughes

On Saturday afternoon, the Marble sky let go of some much needed rain.

From my doorway I watched as the droplets decorated

the puddles with ever growing, ever changing Concentric Circles.

As the rain began to let up a bit, 

I grabbed my favorite piece of rain Gear 

{and my camera} 

and I headed outside.

All the leaves, as if Glazed, 

caught every ounce of light there was.

And,
as the sun shone through the rain, 

the Warped boughs, weighed down and soaking wet,

caught that light and caught my eyes.
