Ahhhh, Rain

I woke to the sound of rain trickling from the eaves. Once again, the swales are full and the birds are singing. The kids refused to wear their rain gear to school, so frustrating! It wasn't worth the battle. A stroll through the Shire is definitely a must do today, with some of the trees already flowering, it feels like spring is nearly here already. Oliver's teacher gave me two large jars full of homemade chicken soup this morning that the kids will be so happy to eat after being cold and wet! Enjoy the rain!
