It is mid-summer and the old woman has not seen a single raindrop in several weeks. She tries to conjure the look, the sound, the feel of rain, but only the sun beats its rhythm all around her. With not even a thunderstorm in the forecast, she searches the sky in vain. As she glances west, the evening sky splashes her with its own gift!

bright prints of raindrops

Forget the sunset. I’m going to go out and buy some hot pink paint for my porch! Then, rain or shine, I can adore the color! 🙂
