Yes, I know, I'm obsessed about rain. But to find three inches of water in my field rain gauge today is the most in over a year! This would be the combined rainfall from Friday and last night. Lightening and thunder last night brought .6" at The Little House. Again my weather app had more, 1.2, which I think is measured at Volga ten miles NE. Rainfall seems to drop dramatically going a few meals east to west. Perhaps if I lived on the NW coast of the U.S., I'd not focus so much on rain. 😀 "Oh, it's raining again." Time to get started on another good book.
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 …
Now if rain would fall on wildfires........
Takk for alt,
Al
