| Rain
After enduring a 45-day drought, that's lasted really for 3 months with precious little rain since May, last night it RAINED. Nearly an inch. Saved the crops. Spared me. All the living rejoice today. Thank God for the RAIN.

Now one week later, it's harvest day Wednesday again, full day in the gardens. After enduring the hottest week since 1995, parching the crops and drying out the land, today it's raining again. Pouring. Thunderstorming. I could not be more grateful.

Now two weeks since it last rained at all, after weeks of record high temperatures and now "severe drought" conditions across the land, crops withering in the fields, stressing everything to the extreme, finally last night the rains did fall again. Bringing relief beyond words to describe.

Following yet another 12-day rainless spell, this morning at daybreak I wake to the beautiful sound of rain. Complete with thunder and lightning even! A real thunderstorm. Area farmers are cutting fields early this year having lost entire crops to drought. Here we've received just enough to get by. Difficult. This rain, once again, spares us, the growing season continues... Lucky, Arura, so good to see the rain appreciated elsewhere, other side of the planet in fact! So London is getting all the rain this summer? Though I understand it rains there often. --Arura, I'm still keeping watchful eye for a Dorstenia foetida... |

There's a calm across the land today, for the break provided in yesterday's desperately needed rain. It doesn't get any nicer than a sunny day after a soaker rain. Helps the plants grow. Oh, yes, i-n-t-o the plants in a big way. My life is a consecutive sequence of plants, in my work, in my interests, in my leisure, surrounding and filling my home, all very alive! It's a good life. I know you can relate... --a light windbreaker jacket? I appreciate those who appreciate the rain... |

Last night I couldn't sleep, lying awake with eager anticipation for the hopeful approaching rain. Finally at 3:10AM the storm broke, thunder and lightning and pouring rain. First in 9 days. Then I couldn't sleep because it was raining, and that was too delightful to sleep through. I love the rain.

There is something magical about rain. The soothing stream of soft droplets coming to feed our Earth. It's a sound so intricate that creates a warm feeling so subtle inside of us. It would take the most delicate prose to be able to exemplify this miracle of nature. I must say, I love it dearly.

Rain two days in a row! And not just rain, but powerful storms! Jet stream shifting, weather patterns changing as summer fades to fall. The sound, and smell, of a rainstorm over rich woodlands and mature gardens is life incarnate.

Hoping to get some rain today! As I wake up and it is overcast almost like yesterday, no rain yesterday and yet they are calling for some today. Doesn't look like it to me but they say around here if you don't like the weather, hang around it will change. Well just keep hoping Love Vic

Hi Vic, Hi Arura!! Beautiful waking on this foggy late summer morning greeted by your friendly words, and the sound of one lone Chickadee singing heard through this open window that remains open from early spring thaw until the snow flies... should still have another solid month of warmth before things change that way.

The rain is a wounderfull thing, I remember being a child looking through the window chaseing the rain drops to the bottom of the window... wishing i could go out and play ...! We get lot's of the stuff over here...! Thanks for your description of the fall...I close my eyes and try to imagine it...the birds n other wild n wonderful creatures, you find in the woods.! Im a gardener so nature is part of my everyday life, the insects, n flowers n trees are my HP... nature for me is the god of my understanding...! Its far greater than us all... but we are all part of that too...! Im more of a Buddist really... they DO have some answers, to some BIG questions on the nature of reality...! big stuff...! intresing tho...! Maybe i could start looking for some pic's of rain n the fall, and post them on here,... as i could wath it thro the net ,...via your eyes...LOL... Hope your good This mornig Honi...xXx...

It's raining as I write, completely unexpected! The weather-guessers didn't even mention this as a possibility. Welcome surprise. It's just as lovely coming here today to see word of rain from both of you Vic and Arura. I'm so content being alone, but I find I do enjoy good company... Gardener...by trade, Arura? Or for the love of it, and the food that the gardens produce. Deep into tomato season here, I predict another 300 pounds this week. So yes, much respect for the insects too. Insects are necessary for a healthy, balanced ecosystem. People forget that and want to kill the spiders and bees and other scaries. But the bugs and I have a deal, they leave me alone, I leave them alone, each going about our business, respecting the other's space. And those that violate and bite me, get squashed. Hey, they broke the deal... I wonder if I'd been raised Buddhist, if I could have bypassed the long and winding road I've taken to otherwise get to the point I'm at...the "Buddhist Thought of the Day" at the Spirituality forum is a beautiful contribution to this forum, and to my life, every day. Grateful for that, too. There's much to be grateful for. Every day. |
