Shining, Shimmering, Splendid.


I adore the day after a night of rain. The grass and trees are all well-fed and meet the eyes with a green splendor incomparable to that of a merely sunny day.

The earth is damp, still absorbing.

The moss is bloated like someone after a thanksgiving feast.

The sun hides partially behind clouds, brightening but not blinding.

The air is warm, but with a crispness reminiscent of autumn.

I wish every day could be the day after a night of rain.
