Welcome Rain....

After many months of no moisture, we are being blessed with much needed rain It is almost noon and we are relishing the time of just doing nothing, without a feeling of guilt. The Grand-Daughter had planned on leaving earlier but she is napping on the divan.

There is a feeling of restfulness and serenity in the house today. Even Butch and Beau have found their respective places and are snoozing away.

There was a time when on a day like today, if I felt anything at all , it would be ennui; with the dark grey sky and the cold wind enveloping us like a baby's blanket and obliterating all signs of light from the sun.

But today, all's right with the world....or at least the part of it we can see.

Beautiful description of a wonderful, peaceful moment.... I'd make some chili right now, if I were you!

Have you got that beautiful rain smell yet? I love the smell of the world when it has been getting much needed rain. When you are done, would you mind sending some over here? We could use it too - just don't send it to Queensland by mistake - they've have enough now.

Buff: Thanks for the nice comment...yes, chili would be good today but I'm sure mine wouldn't be nearly as good as your's!

tim: Isn't the smell of rain the most wonderful odor? Sorry, we haven't gotten enough to send to you. Maybe next time!!
