Rain at Last!

 

Sitting on the porch enjoying the rain

You have to be a gardener to know how wonderful I feel listening to the first rainfall in weeks of mid-90's temperatures. No doubt golfers are disappointed, but we gardeners are ecstatic and will sleep well tonight.

We water, and that keeps the garden alive but there's nothing like real rain. I've always hand watered my gardens with a goal of keeping the plant alive, not happy. Carrying them through, uninjured, to the next rain. Well we've done it again and I'm feeling really good. Eventually, likely in the next month, the weather will relax and we'll be looking at high temps in the 80's not the mid-90's. That'll make everything easier.
