Just sometimes losing the harsh sunlight for awhile can be a comfort. Today was the first rainy day in quite a spell and, since the the rain took the form of a soft drizzle and a gentle pit-a-patting on the umbrella, there was none of that urgency to run for cover. Instead, every footstep brought forth a collision with yet another fresh scent - the heady aroma of lilacs, the sharp snap of juniper needles, the earthiness of moist cedar decks... The greenery is so lush right now and robins are busy plucking the lawns for worms. It's also peak time for the spirea to cascade under the weight of their heavy white flowers. The waning tulips are giving way to the tall straight stalks of purple alium, the stands of irises, and the emergence of budding peonies complete with swarming ants, What's their job anyway. the ants?
The next few days seems to have the same forecast as today. I don't mind it one bit except that I'm getting my hair cut tomorrow and this humidity turns my mop into a frizz bomb. I guess it's a small sacrifice compared to enjoying nature's bounty. Maybe if I wear my dark glasses no one will know me and I won't feel so ashamed of the hair.

I want you to know that I have the opposite hair...straighter than a ...I don't know...straight. I've always had to pay cash money for hair like yours. Wear it happily as the glorious crown that it is my friend.
Love your eloquent post today. Stay dry and well. XXXOOOO
O.k. I got my hair cut as well, and I look like Alfalfa from the little rascals. No one commented but I did get some strange looks. Glad you're back blogging. I'm getting such a lot of complimentary remarks on my box that you created. it's a conversation piece in my living room.
