Some is better than none!

       4. Emily Dickinson, ‘Summer Shower‘.

A Drop fell on the Apple Tree –
Another – on the Roof –
A Half a Dozen kissed the Eaves –
And made the Gables laugh –

A few went out to help the Brook,
That went to help the Sea –
Myself Conjectured were they Pearls –
What Necklaces could be …

   In the midst of a drought rain coming twice in five days is something to celebrate. Neither were hard driving rains, rather, gentle showers over several hours. That's perfect for parched land and the corn fields are glad as they welcome critical moisture as they begin pollination. 

    The town rain gauge, behind The Little House, held .58" and the gauge at the field .4".  That is not a lot but it adds to the .9" received Saturday and is very welcome. So the second time in five days I settled in an caught up on some reading. Returning from grocery shopping I took the pictures below.

Takk for alt,
