It finally rained Thursday evening for the first time in more than two weeks. I know there are people in Michigan and the Northeast who would gladly share their precipitation with us - E. among them. She's really really tired of shoveling snow back in Michigan.
We really needed the rain and it was so welcome. When I woke up Friday morning, the rising sun caught the raindrops still on the leaves of the banana palms (yes, we have banana palms in our yard but they're just babies. No bananas yet.) and on the grass in the pasture across the road. Everything looked and smelled so clean and fresh and washed.
It rained again last night, not as much, but right now it's all welcome. It still isn't enough to completely fill our ponds. I'm going to have to add water to the papyrus (yes, we have papyrus in our garden) pond.
