We’ve been getting ready for a week—
cleaned the gutters and the woodstove,
stacked and corded oak and Manzanita,
brazed a soup bone with plenty meat
and vegetables, just in case the neighbors
drop by to watch it rain—some more.
Inch and a half overnight, we take
and release a deep, moist breath.
For all ingredients, just add water.

Thank you, good to trade the dust for mud, grass on its way.

It’s still hanging on, Angeline, working on a short rainbow at the moment. Just wonderful, and we’re grateful while getting used to the idea.

Finally, the dust washed off the cows to cover seeds yet to sprout

Breathing much easier as we get used to the possibility of more normal living on the ranch. Already I notice I’m easier to get along with, less likely to fire
at every annoyance, eager to take what comes in stride. The bare clay hills held a deep red color yesterday, and impossibly we thought we saw in the high old feed a tinge of green. Cheers, Kim 🙂
