Rain's Beauty

I awoke to the sound of gentle rain falling and then was lulled back to sleep. This morning the rain's fragrance permeates the yard as I open the windows to just take in the beauty of the rain.  I am grateful for the rain. It purifies the air and brings lightness to my morning.  Rain seems to come less frequently due to the drought. When is does finally fall, my heart sings and my soul dances.  My mind relishes the possibilities of staying in to bake, craft or sew while my body wants to walk, run and play outside.  I am moved my the sound, smell and luxury of our light rain.  Imagine how the plants feel.
