April rain - there is nothing like it. A free gift from heaven . . . refreshing, rejuvenating, cleansing rain. Rain - the life fluid of Earth. How perfectly made is water - so simple and so complete. I love the rain, the smell, the sound, the memories of childhood it brings to the forefront of my consciousness.
My childhood home had a large attic and on rainy days my sister Caroline and I would spend hours playing dress-up with the treasures we found. Furniture from days long past were strategically placed and we would pretend to be queens and princesses dressed in the most elegant gowns from older sister's proms. Tea was served in tiny porcelain cups and we sipped our tea and ate small cookies as proper-pinkie-out ladies.
And so, on this rainy April day, I'll drink a cup of tea with my pinkie extended and enjoy the gift memories this rain brought today.
Beautiful rain, perfect rain, life giving rain, triggor-of-memories rain..................
Amen to that post ... we're so lucky to live in such a beautiful state (not to mention, world) ... thanks for sharing the memories.
