Rain, Blessed Rain

The rain began sometime during the afternoon of the pig picking on July 4 ... despite a forecast for no rain. I did not complain because of our lack of it.

It also rained on Saturday and Sunday and these kinds of rains with a chance to soak into the ground were exactly what we needed. That and my cistern system is again completely filled with rainwater for the next dry spell.


I'm always amazed that plants in the garden know the difference in being watered by hand and being watered with rain. Yet, they surely do.
