Happy rain day, dark and grey. I love the view from my window by my bed. Our yard is so green.

I look down on the apple trees, the honeysuckle, the vine maple and the kiwi, that create an arbor covering the patio. They surround and shield us from the harsh sun and neighbors.

And I even love looking over to the neighbors flat roofed garage to watch the puddles grow and the rain drops splashing into them.

Every once in awhile a fresh breeze comes through the window bringing with it the fragrance of the wet earth and plants.

We have so many fragrant flowers like kiwi, lavender and jasmine. Someone should create such a lovely perfume. I would wear it everyday when we so easily forget summers past.

Such beauty I couldn’t imagine if I tried. Or have I?
