The Rain

So we've had days upon days upon days of rain.  I know it's April and this is spring but come on.  Once all you hear is rain and flood warnings it gets a bit depressing.  Plus it's been so gray outside and it's hard not to be sad when everything seems so dreary.

But I think were getting close to the end of all this.  Halfway through the days of rain there was great sparks of vibrant green colors from the grass, trees, and flowers growing abundantly from all that rain.  It reminds me of how dreary and colorless things have a tendency to be in the winter.  To the point that little flashes of color make you happy. 

We are beyond the flashes of color now and hopefully embarking on the first day without rain in forever.  It is gorgeous outside and all the spring flowers are hitting a glorious bloom.  I can go for a walk and not worry about getting cold and wet just in time to smell the flowers.

What is your favorite thing about spring?

Mine is the beauty and excitement of all the things that looked sad and dead coming back to live in incredibly vivid colors and the promise of warm weather with lots of sunlight.
