After Weeks of Dry ~ Rain

For after all the best thing one can do when
it is raining, is to let it rain.-

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Water is the mother of the vine,
The nurse and fountain of fecundity,
The adorner and refresher of the world.-

Charles Mackay, The Dionysia 

For keenest enjoyment, I visit when the dew is on them,
or in cloudy weather, or when the rain is falling:
and I must be alone or with someone who cares for them as I do.-   

David Fairchild
