Rain in May

It rained today.
I like how it makes it quiet outside after it's done raining. It seems like all the noise is dampened except for the trill of the birds which carry more clearly than at first light. Or so it seems to me.

My tulips are much more picturesque with the water droplets that are left clinging to the petals.

I could sit on my porch all day and listen to it rain. All the pesky insects have battened down the hatches, so they are no worry. BooBoo Kitty sits beside me wondering why she left the warm folds of the comforter on my bed to follow me out into THIS. Obviously we have different feelings about this weather.
