A Rainy Day in August... :)

Celebrate!!! During the night we were awakened by thunder, lightening and heavy rain beating against the windows and roof. What a wonderful, wished for, dreamed of sound! Drifting back to sleep with the sound of  rain falling gently on the earth, I could almost hear the grasses, plants and trees slurping up the much needed moisture, I could almost hear the celebration and rejoicing taking place all around us!

Grass is growing again!

Puddles everywhere. :)

Fruit trees are loving it.
It's been a long, long time since we've had a rainy day.  The rain has continued off and on most the morning. Sometimes heavy... running across the fields, tumbling over the rocks and rushing into the ponds. Sometimes slow and steady... kissing the leaves of parched trees and sliding down their trunks to pool around the roots... slipping onto thirsty blades of grass and settling the dust to gather in puddles to nurture the earth and all it's creatures. What a glorious day!

Although the ponds are still low, water levels are rising a little.

Some of the herbs have starting growing once more.

We have a green yard again! I might need to mow soon. :)
All the animals seem to be enjoying the cooler weather and the rain. Here are some pictures from today.

Mike is busy with building Roy Rogers a new house. Roy's not too happy about the rain. As you may know goats think they will melt in the rain. :) They hate getting wet!
