Treats for all the senses.

It’s 4 am and I’ve woken to the welcome music of sweet, refreshing rain falling on the garden. It carries through the open window on a current of cool air bringing with it the earthy scents it has awakened as it sinks into the dry, summer earth. My senses of hearing, taste, smell and touch are all excited, but so to is my sense of sight as my eyes grow accustomed to the dark, and I can see in my imagination the reds and pinks of geraniums nodding in the light breeze. Soon the rain will pass, the sun will rise and the wetness will vanish into vapour. Sunday will declare itself to be present in its quietness and distant church bells and the smell of coffee will invade the house. Heavier, hotter rain will fall from the shower head and steam will carry the scent of soap out of the open bathroom window to offend the birds. Are your windows more often open or closed?
