I actually get depressed if there are too many sunny , dry days because home means lush green foliage and brooding skies!And as far as I am concerned, one of the best sounds on earth is that of raindrops on sky-lights and roofs. Your post definitely evokes a sense of your home and surroundings.KathyB.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13076933273610590290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8224955469243279371.post-13568083895300015782009-12-03T05:39:07.132+00:002009-12-03T05:39:07.132+00:00Wow what beautiful pictures again!
