Blessed Rain
We woke to the sound of rain, blessed rain, and the gift of a free day from lawn duty! Free from monitoring sprinklers on newly seeded topsoil. Nature is finally working for us. Now, hopefully light rain will continue dampening the soil and not become a washout downpour.
So far, summer in Alaska has been unseasonably cool. Memorial weekend set heat records, but the weeks before and after that weekend have seen temperatures much cooler than the norm. So much for global warming. Meanwhile, I listen to the comforting sound of gentle rain and am thankful as I work in my studio.
