Rainy Mood

 I think these Azaleas are my favorite flower in the garden. 

Every time I set my gaze upon them they take me to a tropical paradise in my mind.  

I snapped this pic of them a couple days ago, when the garden was delightfully warm, but with a slight sea breeze moving through the trees. They had just bloomed then.

Today I awoke to the pitter patter and drip drop of the rain as it gently beat down onto my skylights. 

As I took a look around at the flowers and trees hanging heavy and low from the spring shower, I noticed a visitor who seemed to be enjoying breakfast from the garden. 

A breakfast of Rugosa Roses.

 I sat and watched her enjoy herself feasting on the leaves, but after a short while I did have to discourage her. She was not quick to leave and seemed curious in who I was and what I had to say. 

I'm sure I'll be seeing her again.

The lilac is just starting to bloom. 

I love the sweet scent that comes from these beauties.  

A break in the rain would be welcomed, so we can enjoy these gorgeous blooms more. 

I love it when we have a shower every couple of days, though. That way everything gets a drink.

There is nothing like the rain.

 Nelli has the right idea for the day. 

Rainy & quiet.

I do think it is the most perfect afternoon for a nap.
