The abundant waters of March have brought our seasonal levels back into a respectably healthy zone and the rainy days, alternating with warm sunny ones, have provided a profusion of flowers everywhere. The single tiny plum blossom I posted a photo of recently now has thousands of companions.Seeing all the rain in March reminded me of a wonderful lilting song that became one of my favorites while living in France, Les Eaux de Mars, sung here in French by Georges Moustaki (click the "preview" button on this MP3 download to hear a snippet). Perhaps you know it in the original Portugese version, Águas de Março by Antonio Carlos Jobim. The song is beautiful in any language -- captivating, just like raindrops swelling on tree branches.
