Rainy days...

After the rain the garden looks so fresh and green. The plants have soaked up all the moisture possible. Leaves quivering to catch all the raindrops. In the sun they glitter like diamonds, luminous and shiny on leaves, flowers and branches. Everything grows double as quick. The big, red leaves of a philodendron scrambling up a tree tremble with all the moisture.
The garden is densely planted, when it rains it resembles a rain forest with a big variety of plants, in many shapes, sizes and wonderful patterns and colours.

Rain is grace; rain is the sky condescending to the earth; without rain, there would be no life.
John Updike

The Rain
I hear leaves drinking rain;
I hear rich leaves on top
Giving the poor beneath
Drop after drop;
'Tis a sweet noise to hear
These green leaves drinking near.

William Henry Davis



Life is like this: sometimes sun, sometimes rain.~ Fijian Proverb



The Rain
All night the sound had
come back again,
and again falls
this quite, persistent rain.

Robert Creeley

  5. Rain is wonderful but prolonged rain is not so good ;-) Past few weeks, it has been cloudy and rainy. But this week... super hot. I wish rain will come back! And yes I know... they will grow faster :-D

    Have a great weekend Titania!
