The QUALITY of RAIN

"The best kind of rain, of course, is a cozy rain. This is the kind the anonymous medieval poet makes me remember, the rain that falls on a day when you'd just as soon stay in bed a little longer, write letters or read a good book by the fire, take early tea with hot scones and jam and look out the streaked window with complacency."

~ Susan Allen Toth, 'ENGLAND for ALL SEASONS'

Unfortunately, our rain today wasn't a cozy rain but a blustery, cold rain that the strong winds were carrying every which way!! Still, a lot of rain is better than a lot of snow . . .
