After the Rain
After a rain, the brimming drops that decorate the leaves and petals in the garden always catch my eye -- whether marching in precise formation along a clematis stem . . . .
. . . dangling from the serrated edge of a coleus leaf . . .
. . . sliding down the furled petals of a Japanese iris . . .
. . . poised precariously at the rose leaf's point or puddled on the iris petal -- a new delight at every turn!
(As always, 'biggify' the pictures by clicking on them for the full effect. Better than bifocals!)
Vicki, I was raving about your blog yesterday to the folks at City Lights planning this fall's bookfair. I even told Maxine Kumin about it this morning. I hope she'll stop by. I've run out of blogging steam right now. I'd like to get back to that goofy novel I starts 6 years ago. Maybe I'll post a short excerpt.

We got a little over 1/2" of rain over two days and everything is greening up and growing ... looking happy!
Love those raindrops, AA!
Pat, so glad you got some of all this rain!

Kay -- Maxine Kumin? As in THE Maxine Kumin? Oh my -- makes me want to tidy up things on the off chance she might stop by. I really admire her work.
I'd love to hear about this novel of yours!
And I'm really looking forward to the Sylva book fair -- always a pleasant day!
