in the rain

It's raining again today, a welcome respite from the dry winters of the past few years.

This morning we awoke to find the tree in front of our home lying down on the ground. Just having missed crashing into our bedroom window or smashing the cars parked in front of our place

I suspect more trees will be down before this rain and wind is done.

The pic above is from another rainy day--more than a year ago--when our family visited the Japanese Garden in Portland.

Needless to say, I was just there on Friday, and I think that my friends and I concluded that going in the winter is probably a completely different experience than any other time of year. All the waterfalls and running water was frozen and I assume all the coy were at the bottom hibernating. This picture made me realize how very beautiful the flowers must be when it is not quite so chilly outside.

Cute picture. :-) I slept so well last night to the soothing pitter-patter of rain drops. That and the sound of the ocean are the most relaxing sounds for a good night's rest.
