After the Shower

We are promised to see the sun today; it just slowly peeked out and pulled away.  Dark gray gloom is
back....    The rain is suppose to stop; it really effects my mood, I feel droopy like a wilted bloom.   I have so much to do, want to do and need to do....funny, I put want before need...

I am sifting through books, some to go to the Recycled Reader shop, others put on shelf, some pack away.
I found a poetry book, by Mary H. Oliver.  I love the way she paints nature with her words.   Here is one
of my Wall Calendar pages, just a beginning...

                                    AFTER THE SHOWER

The sound of rain upon the roof was not unwelcome sound; softly it fell, and soon the call from
one bird to another rose above the even patter of the rain.  The birds were glad!  And what of
ferns and small wild flowers that grew close by our little house?

After the shower had passed, we took the trail down through the woods, and found a fairy-land;
bright silver beads hung gracefully on each blueberry bush; and raindrops, caught in cup shaped
flowers now shone like diamonds when a ray of sunlight touched the flowers; and two small trees
looked like a pair of silver candlesticks.
The rain had silvered all the ferns and hung like strings of pearls upon the blue-eyed flowers.

And while I looked on all of this, my heart was glad-for always this will stay with me-the magic
of raindrops in the sun!  ~Mary H. Oliver

  I wanted to make a necklace with a floral touch, so took apart some silk flowers n' sewed  them on a chain
with pearls for the stamens. .

I am spring inspired; Are you?
