"Few things are
as disagreeable to rabbits
as cold wet fur.
Nothing makes us
so cranky
as a day
that drizzles
without end.
And yet,
the feeling of being snug indoors
is not possible
without raw weather
outdoors.
It's the contrast
of warmth and chill,
of light and dark,
that makes rainy days extraordinary."
