The woods are silent, but for the sound of falling rain. The log trucks are parked. Winter operations cease when the woods are wet. It all comes to a halt to avoid making a mess of the ground or getting mud in the creeks. The loggers are either in the shop or at home. After four years of drought, it’s good to be rained out.

Puddles? Oh, puddles those tiny pools of water. It’s been so long since they’ve been around, I forgot what they were called. Now they are starting to connect together. I’m having sunshine withdrawals. Can’t help it, I’m a native Californian.

Beautiful rain! We are getting it in our part of the country too. Our drought was not as bad, but the rain is welcome. Our low water gardening days may be over…for now.

It is a beautiful thing! I hope this is the beginning of the end of our drought. It’s been steady for a while and water is running everywhere.

We can’t complain here in the Midwest. An El Nino winter has us unseasonable warm at about 40F and only a fair amount of rain. Peeerfect!

Funny how that works. Enjoy the nice weather and we’ll enjoy our wonderfully terrible weather. 😀
