Raindrops on Roses....

Sounds a little bit like a song, doesn't it? Friday night we had a pretty lound thunder storm over Lockhart. In fact, I think most of Central and South Texas got quite a bit of fierce weather and we were blessed with only the rain, so that was nice.
Anyway, Sabbath morning I took Lilly outside around 7:am. She's 5 1/2 months old now and very inquisitive. It was a nice cool spring morning. The perfect kind where the sun is just coming up and not yet warm, but it's not too cool to be outside in shorts. - We have two red rose bushes in our front flower beds and they still had raindrops nested in their petals. I let Lilly get up pretty close to the blooms and she was able to touch them and feel the water droplets. I got a big smile and a little giggle. So, I guess she thought that was pretty cool. =*)
Wouldn't it be nice to have that kind of wonder and amazement about everything again?
