After the Rain by Denise Burkitt for Free Spirit Fabrics. "I love the scent in the atmosphere after rain has settled. Living on acreage between hills, surrounded by nature, the air seems sweet and cleaner. During the rain, I feel spoiled that I can indulge, spending all day in my studio, painting or nutting out a new sewing project. For me rain has a calming effect, it makes me feel peaceful and at rest. All that nourishment is for plants, animals and us alike. Then the sun is shining again, and I can't help thinking about all the new activity under the soil in my garden -- worms, insects and tiny little organisms busy toiling the earth. Everything feels refreshed, with a sense of renewal."
