“Is the spring coming?" he said. "What is it like?"...
"It is the sun shining on the rain and the rain falling on the sunshine...”
"It is the sun shining on the rain and the rain falling on the sunshine...”

The Secret Garden is one of the great classics of children's literature.
This photo was taken in my own garden last year. It is a Morden Blush Rose. Its smell is tender and sweet. I am longing for spring and roses and rain falling on sunshine.
