Timeless raindrops

... finally a day with a decent amount of rain ...

Weather means more when you have a garden. There's nothing like
listening to a shower and thinking how it is soaking in and

around your lettuce and green beans.

Every year it seems to me I hear complaints about spring.
It is either "late" or "unusually cold," "abnormally dry" or "fantastically wet,"
for no one is ever willing to admit that there is no such thing as a normal spring.
(Thalassa Crusso)

And what better to polish up these photos than music itself ...
