Rain, rain, go away... No, seriously.

I don't know about you, but I'm getting seriously tired of all this rain. Enough already! Bring back the warm, sun-filled days that inspire sundresses and sandals, and endless smiles.

Waking up this morning to find that it was going to be yet another soggy, gray day only made me want to roll back over, pull the covers over my head and snooze until the sun decides to make an appearance.

There's gotta be something happy about rainy days, right? I mean, aside from the flowers and foliage that flourish as a result of said rain... Well, I've got a series of pictures for you that tell a story and something about each of them made my smile, so hopefully they do the same for you.

Enjoy - To brighter days!!
