I was up with the lark this morning, awakened by the sound of rain pelting against the windows, long before the morning light itself had appeared.
As much rainfall as we've had in the past couple of months, our Spring growing season, should be a healthy one.No dried-up soils here
.
" The best kind of rain, of course, is a cozy rain.
This is the kind the anonymous medieval poet makes me remember, the rain that falls on a day when you'd just as soon stay in bed a little longer, write letters or read a good book by the fire, take early tea with hot scones and jam and look out the streaked window with complacency. "

Yes being cozy and warm while it is sprinkling the whole day, bringing for us much needed moisture would be nice. I have noticed that you are getting large amounts of rain..
There's been a lot of rain here in my area of TN, too. I really can't enjoy it in this cursed hospital bed. It's much more cozy at home. Hopefully lots of spring flowers in May.
Get well and home soon, jayvee.... The rain
has really prompted early blooming around
here and it is a feast for the senses...The iris are going to stretch to the sky. An oh the roses.....I love the idea of "cozy rain", especially when it includes tea and scones.
