After the Rain

2008.06.20
Anyone who says sunshine brings happiness has never danced in the rain.
—Author Unknown

“In one drop of water are found all the secrets of all the oceans”
—Kahlil Gibran

Rain showers my spirit
and waters my soul.
—Emily Logan Decens

“The Amen of nature is always a flower.”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes

“If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning.”
—Frederick Douglass (American Abolitionist, Lecturer, Author and Slave, 1817-1895)

Everywhere water is a thing of beauty gleaming in the dewdrop,
singing in the summer rain.
— John Ballantine Gough

"I know well
that the June rains
just fall."
— Onitsura

“Lord, keep my memory green.”
—Charles Dickens

Let the rain kiss you.
Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops.
Let the rain sing you a lullaby.
— Langston Hughes

The sun kept shining and the rain began—slowly at first and then a river of water.

oldbabe Interesting Frederick Douglass quote.
7 is "fairy tale-ish".
And the stories that picnic table could tell!

Lovely post, as usual.

And here...the rain continues...I'm tired of dancing and singing in it.

vollenda Everything always feels refreshed and revived after a drink of rain water. This set is lovely and really captures that. My favorites are the last two. Love the bunnies! And the old picnic table has such character.
