Rain

A dark, rainy morning. Thankfully, we’ve missed the vicious storms that hit Iowa and other places. My heart goes out to those people. A robin is cheerfully proclaiming a new day, maybe thinking of all the earthworms that will come tunneling to the top to keep from being drowned. As a hard shower started a bit earlier, I saw two small birds winging their way quickly into my black mulberry tree whose spreading limbs and thick leaves offered a shelter.

I’m grateful for the rain. My herbs and flowers are grateful too. I have yet to plant the red begonia and, since it likes a shady spot, I may put it in the back yard with the fern and hosta. I enjoy a rainy spring morning, as long as the tornadoes, hail, and wind don’t materialize here or elsewhere.

  1. Nice! I have planted a few of the plants I started in my greenhouse, but it seems that if it isn’t raining, and I don’t have to take someone to a dr. appointment, then I’m sick. Yuck. But as long as we don’t have any severe weather, the thunder and rain are kind of comforting.

    • Yes, the thunder and rain are comforting. Thanks for writing, Linda. We’ll get those plants out one of these days.
