Summer Rain

Though technically it's still spring, it feels like summer rain. Especially when compared to the chill unending downpour of March and early April, when rain fell close to the froozing point, and the hills turned white.

After the rain stopped it quickly turned warm and dry, rising to a Mother's Day temperature of 93. This rain is warm and gentle, made for sitting out in the yard under a canvas umbrella, while the earth exhales its sweet breath all around me.
