In the rain and memories

It is a very rainy day here today. It is the kind of rain that makes you wish you were a child in an oversized raincoat and bright yellow boots, (maybe with ducks?). It reminds me of why I enjoy this time of year regardless of the rain and the cold fronts that still seem to move in and linger longer than they are welcome. I appreciate the renewal, the rebirth of everything. I could probably do without the unrest that comes with those other more favorable traits of Spring, but all of this together is what makes this time of year so special. Enjoy the gray days, they lead to the beauty within.
