And The Rains Came

Mother Nature sent rain for our holiday weekend.

Buckets full, with the odd peeking of the sun in between, enticing you into the garden with the hope of getting those much needed chores done.

 

Four days of continuous rain, for which we are grateful, even if her timing is a bit off.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A break in the heat
away from the front
no thunder, no lightning,
just rain, warm rain
falling near dusk
falling on eager ground
steaming blacktop
hungry plants
thirsty
turning toward the clouds
cooling, soothing rain
splashing in sudden puddles
catching in open screens
that certain smell
of summer rain
