April Deluge

A rolling drum of thunder resonated outside lightning twisted across the grey expanse of sky simply inundating. Trees began to tango, swirl and jive while sheets of rain plummeted from clouds pummeling our startled lawn, emboldening the rhododendrons to bloom, liberating the Clematis to sprout, invigorating and exciting the whole garden and all before the first day of spring.
