Lots of Rain

We are soaked and it's good. Everything looks so clean, fresh, alive. The almonds and ornamental trees are covered in popcorn blossoms and new life's green leaves. Like lace dripping off the branches the flowers cling tightly during the storms. Once again the faerie stream is full and the water falls over the cobblestone from the swelling streets. Today is our cooking day again! Creamy risotto topped with good parmigiana will be the children's task. Mmmm, comfort food for a cold, wet day.
