April brought a LOT of showers and therefore it was pouring when it was time to choose a theme for last week.  As I drearily gazed through the droplets on my window for the umpteenth day in a row, the idea came to me.  I figured with all that rain it wasn't a difficult challenge word.  And people did great!  Happily, a week (and many inches of water) later, here I sit in the glorious dusky sun - dry as a bone and basking in the breeze.  Oh nice weather, please stay!   But first... let's take a walk down memory lane and see all those rainy wet images.  I am actually a big fan of rain.  It feels cleansing and it feels refreshing.  But the rains of the past few weeks were also cold and you couldn't shake the damp chill no matter how hard you tried.  I'm happy to feel warm right now.  I think we all needed it!  Still, I celebrate these images and all their damp, wet, glory.  Of course, it's easy to do that from a warm, breezy porch! #irisheyeswetYou can click on any image to see additional descriptions if you'd like.
