The rain was like a little mouse,
Quiet, small, and gray,
It pattered all around the house
And then it went away.
It did not come, I understand,
Indoors at all, until,
I found an open window and
Left tracks across the sill.
Elizabeth Coatsworth
What a beautiful poem...I love the idea of it leaving little tracks across the sill. It reminds me of a hot summer day, and a well deserved rain on windowsills framed with antique lace curtains...
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by Carla, I think the email from WP has glitches, if you want to try the one on the sidebar now it should be working.

So beautiful! We had a lot of rain last week and we needed it! I'm ready for sunny skies again!
ReplyDeleteWe need rain! Send it down here, please! Love that poem, too. Linda@Wetcreek Blog
ReplyDeleteLovely shot and poem!
ReplyDeleteThat was nice to read ... and we do need rain, and I like the photo.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it be good to have rain when we sleep just the right amount of course and then some dry / sunny weather during the day. Perhaps we may find that too boring ! I don't know ...

We have had a lot of rain lately - the joys of winter. Thanks for sharing that poem.
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful poem and photo, Carla. I love the rain, and it rained for just a bit this weekend. We sure could use it here in California.

I was weeding for three days and got chased inside by rain today. A good thing as I was dead tired since I've been weeding until 9:20 PM every evening until I could not see the weed. Not much time for blogging lately.

Hi Carla, The poem really creates a mental image.
ReplyDeleteOur little cat, Ditto, passed away today. We will miss him so much.
What a a sweet poem, never heard it before. I like the rain, in small doses, windows open, on a summer day. Reminds me of when I was a little girl!
ReplyDeleteLove this. Perfect for the gentle rains we have had this spring.
