Nature Cleans

It was a moody day rain fell slowly and steadily not wanting to stop green tree leaves hung heavily laden with moisture puddles became larger covering the streets hiding pot holes the start of a small stream runs along the sidewalk washing the dirt to the nearest drain hole cleaning city streets mother nature refreshing and rejuvenating doing her housework.

It is nice to have the rain clean up the streets. Fall is around the corner and nights are getting cooler. Hate the thought of winter snow. love phyl
