We are having the first rain of April. The grass is going green before my very eyes. The leaves on the trees are popping. The ground is so gray with all of the winter's coverings. This rain will also give a chance for the mold and mildew to take a rest. Car noises are muffled as they pass on the highway outside my yard and picket fence. Just a splashing. I feel like nature is taking a breath as she waits to exhale in all her leafy splendor. I know my garden plants could use a drink. Fog is suppose to move in tonight and we are suppose to have rain tomorrow. I like the way it slows down the pace. I feel sheltered in this April rain.
