In Time of Silver Rain

Langston Hughes

In time of silver rain

The earth

Puts forth new life again.

Green grasses grow

And flowers lift their heads,

And over all the plain

The wonder spread

    Of life,

    Of life,

    Of life!

In time of silver rain

The butterflies

Lift silken wings

To catch a rainbow cry,

And trees put forth

New leaves to sing

In joy beneath the sky

As down the roadway

Passing boys and girls

Go singing, too,

In time of silver rain

    When spring

     And life

     Are new.

The title of this posting refers to the number of days until I expect to harvest tomatoes from my very own garden.  This is exciting because this has not occurred for seven years.  You can see that the lettuce and spinach are doing quite nicely despite being pummeled by wind storms this past weekend.
