the essence of rain falling on dry ground …
perfume in September
. . . . . .
The OED word of the day is 'petrichor,' something I love but didn't know the name for. It is a "pleasant, distinctive smell frequently accompanying the first rain after a long period of warm, dry weather."
If it ever rains again in Seattle, we'll be enjoying it :)

I love your trees in this drawing. We missed you on Sunday. What an amazing place to sketch!
Thanks, Beth. Sorry not to get a chance to catch up with you, but had a fern event (!) at the Conservatory. Jack Block is my turnaround point for bike rides, so I grabbed this sketch a day early in a totally empty park!
