"For you shall go out in joy, and be led back in peace; the mountains and the hills before you shall burst into song, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands." Isaiah 55:12
What do biblical literalists do with this verse? Well, be that as it may, there are some interesting studies about trees' ability to communicate. Had they hands perhaps they'd be clapping today. .9" of gentle rain falling after a long dry spell is a good gift to trees, pastures, grasslands and alfalfa fields. Bean harvest will slow a bit but perhaps they will not be as dusty.
When helpful rain comes I'm always reminded of this book. It's set in Malaysia in World War II. I thought it good.
Takk for alt,
