Stomping through puddles
in my Sunday best
Sailing paper boats
in rain puddles.
Lessons on the smell of rain
“Smell that?”, she’d ask.
When the first plopping raindrops
hit parched soil.
Time taken for the little things,
never a bother
to my warrior mother.

last bloom of my red rose
undaunted by this cold wet day –
a steady autumn rain

the drip, drip
from the eaves
leftover rhythm from the rain

This Japanese Maple was started from a seedling two years ago. It’s still in a pot and is about a foot tall. Doing well!
morning rain
falls on the baby maple
the leaves dance

to the sound of rain
this morning

fallen leaves set sail
as rain water roars down the drain-
puddles come alive

spring rain
in pothole puddle

I spent time in the garden yesterday, a tangled mess. The plotting out of chores always seem easier from the doorway. It was no different this time either. Having started late, I raked a line around the perimeter and sprinkled new shasta daisy seeds ( those things are more like flakes). I forgot to water them. Nature, in the mode of taking care of its own, sent rain this morning.
morning twittering

at the first rain drops
I move to the window seat
crackling fire
and rhythm on tin roof, I’m
seduced by the elements
