Were it not for the fact it’s the end of the day
I believe I’d run out into the sunshine and play
in fields bursting with summer wildflowers and grain,
and me, wishing it would rain just as the sun sets,
revealing that rare beauty, the sunshower...
another way that Mother Nature
sometimes honors me with that radiant beauty,
the sunshowered rainbow.

Lovely.  Sunshowers are something, aren't they?

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

This makes me think about the monkey's wedding again (was that the name of it?).  Anyway, you made me want to run out and wind a sunshower, too, Kacy!   ....jo

I love 'em!
Especially when two or three are stacked up.
But, no rainbow today after the rain, just a gazillion mosquitos!
I feel like a pincushion!

Thanks, Kacy

"and me, wishing it would rain just as the sun sets,
revealing that rare beauty, the sunshower..."

Down in Alabammy, us kids used to say that when it rained while the sun was shining, that meant the devil was beatin' his wife.  
This redneck moment in history brought to you courtesy of...Hicks-R-Us.

ROTFLMAO! Hicks-R-Us? Now you have me howling!
If the devil has to beat his wife so that I can see a sunshower....?
Sorry, Mrs. Devil!
But I think it's the sun and rain making...um, whoopee?
