A gentle rain overtook the North Forty late this morning.

 While most rains come from the west,

today's rain brought heavy grey clouds and fitful breezes 

from the southeast.

The raindrops were a welcome sight, 

freeing me from the non-stop garden chores

which consume my April weekends.

I meandered about,

balancing camera and umbrella,

to capture a few rainy day images.
