Rain for Rue

Spring brought with it a wonderful treat. Eighty degree warmth accompanied with an evening shower.  Rue heard the pounding of the raindrops on our roof and squealed in delight as she watched them hit our outside deck with fury.  She made it very known that she was not going to be content until she got her way and was allowed to venture out.

As I stood and watched her soak in the rain,  I got to feel again the joy that motherhood brings when you watch your child discover something wonderful and new for the first time.  And this warm rain did not disappoint.
