Actions in Rain

Just after it got light this morning (about 5:30 a.m.), Richard headed out and began hand weeding the Sorghum Cane.  By the time I was moving around, he had already weeded 4 Rows.  Weeding Sorghum Cane, which is a Grass, is a tedious matter, especially when the Weeds penetrating the Rows are Grass.  "Who among you are Sorghum Cane? Raise your hands please."

I was moving about by a little after 7.  Rain was in the forecast and we knew it would be soon.  Richard and I worked in tandem to finish some of the plantings in the Big Garden.  Those Seeds would be thrilled to be blessed by the Rain.

We finished just in time.  The Rains came and 2 of the C's headed inside.  I heard an urgent call from Max, the Cat.  He was getting the full force of the Rain on the West Porch.  I let him inside. 

"Where's Melanie?" Melanie had headed outside to make sure that the Littles would be OK.  In making sure that they were OK, she came inside dripping. 

We got 1/4 inch from this Rain. For the most part, the Rain was gentle and cooling.  It was so wonderful to have Rain that was gentle.  I had almost forgotten what it was like. Most of our Rain in recent weeks has been accompanied by Storms.  During those times, we are surely on edge.  Instead, today, we just relaxed into this Rain. And we were grateful.
