A Magpie Tale in Sunday 160


Outside is raining,

My head is spinning,

Tired of complaining,

I open the door,

and begin to walk without looking at the floor,

Then, I heard raindrops singing.

    Nothing like a good puddle stomp to help clear the blues. Thanks for playing along with the Sunday 160.

    It's wonderful to hear the raindrops singing instead of hearing moaning about them :)

    I love to hear rain singing. Except when it starts to howl like a ghost.

    Sounds like the raindrops were an encouragement. I love the smell of fresh rain.

    Not sure the east coast would agree right now... but I definitely miss strolling in the rain, or sitting on the porch listening to the musical sounds of a good storm.

    I haven't taken a walk in the rain since I was a bit younger, but it was always fun, "to sing and dance in the rain."

    Oh, don't you love the rain. I do. This makes me look forward to it ... and you are right. The raindrops do sing, assuming you have the ears to hear.
