A shower fell in the night...

"A shower fell in the night and now dark clouds drift across the sky, occasionally sprinkling a fine film of rain. I stand under an apple tree in blossom and I breathe..."

~from Freedom to Breathe, by Aleksandre Solzhenitsyn

It isn't spring, so the apple trees aren't in blossom... but the rain is lovely anyway! We had some close thunder this morning, and clouds all day. :-)

I at least can relate right now! Also I am a fan of Solzhenitsyn.

I'm not smart enough to read Solzhenitsyn, Tolstoy, Dosteyevski, etc., but I can appreciate the rain falling, and especially the hospitality bestowed upon me by your family last night. Thank y'all!
