Cookies in the rain…
IT RAINS!
It rains…
But what does it matter!,
if I am here sheltered by this door
listening to the rain that falls from the sky
a silent melody
that no one else listens to
but me?
It rains…
But it is the fate
of those who love
to hear a violin
even in the mud.

The book in the last two photos is very creative. I can easily imagine curling up with a good novel with one of these cookies in hand.
