Actually The Gift Of Rain is the name of a book that I enjoyed. It's set in a city in Malaysia, Penang, where I spent some time. But, the title of this post refers to today's rain. The rain began at 6:00 am as forecast and it been raining all day. No storm, just a gentle rain over several hours. Excavating rocks a few weeks ago demonstrated good subsoil moisture. The rain will moisturize the surface which is very helpful. The first crop of alfalfa has not yet been cut. This will boost that cutting and energize the plants for the second cutting. Corn, soybeans, if they didn't freeze, pastures and trees all benefit.
With the rain falling it was a good day to work in the shop. Kaia sat in the truck and watched me. She's resting today and, with a call to her, she joined me in the shower. Pretty much what passes for excitement here.
Takk for alt,
Al
