Gratitude Monday: Falling rain

Gratitude Monday, and I’m grateful for a day of rain yesterday here in the Valley They Call Silicon. It happens so seldom, and we need it so much.

I’m grateful that I was snug and cozy in my flat, listening to the raindrops hitting the skylight over the entry and the greenhouse window in the kitchen. And that I was watching the goldfinches come to the feeder, and doves coming for the seed on the balcony floor.

I’m grateful that water turned the autumn leaves diamond-decked and glistening against the grey sky.

And I’m grateful that I had bread in the house, for making cinnamon toast and tea in the afternoon.

Loveliest kind of day for ending November.
