After the rain
Sunshine feels like fairy dust
The Murraya trees offer flowers
to the clouds that drift above
White petals fall to the mud
Creating a carpet for ants to tip toe across
Out in the paddocks
Florescent grass creeps higher
And in the garden
Even the thorny rose tendrils softens in ruby buds


After the rain everything seems new.
I sometimes forget our fall is your spring. Also sunshine just brightens one’s day. I love the part about the ants.
Ants are so smart, they were building little towers on top of their nexts a few weeks ago – that’s how knew it was going to be a lot of rain, they certainly weren’t wrong 😊
