Raindrops Keep Falling...

Raindrops sleeping in a cloud

Breathing ocean’s vapor

Eating the ocean’s salt

Growing steadily strong

With storms and winds

Bursting with love

Becoming a precious gift

From the sky to the earth

Nourishing grass and trees

And plants and flowers

Pouring in oceans, lakes and rivers

Celebrating its life

Tap dancing on window panes

And singing with the wind

Before falling down to the ground

As sunshine dries the airAnd raindrops disappear

I saw these gorgeous hanging ornaments on Apartment Therapy:LA , and I just have to spread the joy to my fellow rain-soaked friends here on the Wet, er, West Coast.
With all this crazy weather we have been experiencing, I think these Glass Raindrops, by Smith & Hawkin, are the most fitting ornaments to reflect our environment. A symbol of our amazing and diverse eco-system... us Islanders do reside in a rainforest afterall!
Lest we forget, water is the essence of life...

Goodness, the glass drops are so stunning I would leave them up all year round, or would that be the equivalent to a "rain dance".... a prayer for lots and lots of the wet stuff! Hmmm....
