Rain

Rain drops are rare
 here in this place where the sun always shines.
It is a joyful experience to get outside and splash in the small puddles and take photos. I love the symmetry of these drops on this leaf.
I listen carefully for the sound of rainfall. It is a novelty here and yet endless rainy days in Maine can get old quickly. The children here seem more anxious and wild on rainy days. Maine children are that way when it is sunny. This bi-coastal life I live makes me appreciate rain when I get it on the West Coast and sun when I get it on the East Coast. I am becoming adaptable. I am learning to enjoy what comes-taking each gift with thankfulness. Sparkly drops on a green leaf. One of life's simple pleasures.
