i went to a booksale tonight...

and i bought the cutest book called "Without Some Raindrops Failling"

by helen farries

"the days can't all be sunny,
the skies can't all be blue...

sometimes it's dark and cloudy,
someimes its rainy, too...

but when we think it over,
if some rain didn't fall...

we'd have no lovely gardens,
no flowers to pick at all...

we'd have no trees to shade us
or simply sit beneath...

we'd have no pine and holly
to make a christmas wreath...

we'd have no streams to sail on
or dream by now and then...

we'd have no pretty rainbows
to bring the sun again...

we'd have no pretty green leaves,
they'd all be dark and brown...

we'd have no walks together
with raindrops falling down...

so, when we think it over,
when all is said and done...

without some clouds we'd never
appreciate the sun...

so when the skies are cloudy,
just think a bit of this...

without some raindrops falling...

what lovely things we'd miss!"


i love love love this book. the story is great. and the pictures are so adorable-i'll post pictures later :)
