After the rain

Raining

It's raining here today. I love the rain. it smells so good when it starts to rain. There is a wonderful word for that:  

Petrichor ( /ˈpɛtrɨkər/) is the scent of rain on dry earth. The word is constructed from Greek, petra, meaning stone + ichor, the fluid that flows in the veins of the gods in Greek mythology.

Oh, happy day! It is another lovely day in Oregon, with plenty of "Oregon Sunshine".

One day! ONE DRY DAY!!!! That was ALL. It set a record. Not since 1904 has there been so many rainy days.

Things are not all that bad. Look what my #2 daughter brought home last evening. They are so beautiful. Just like looking at sunshine. There are lots of buds that will open as the first ones fade. I'm sure I'll be enjoying them for a long time. I've put them with some of this year's Easter eggs. Just consider that a preview. I'll be posting them in detail later next month closer to Easter.
