raindrops on roses...

...on the bush in the backyard

that appeared really forlorn just the other day - but opened perhaps because of the rain coming down today... causing me to think of the sound of music and my favorite things... remember that scene? the storm - all the children ending up in her bedroom because of it - with julie andrews singing what's now a most famous song?

sort of like the day here today... stormy - rainy - thundering outside... causing my princess diva gracie to go running every now and then to hide under the bed... with me not feeling great - so it's just as well that it's a gloomy day - yet nature brought the best surprise of all... with a rose i didn't think was going to open... now glistening with raindrops - beckoning a memory which makes for...

a

happy day.....
