Nothing near, the long-term forecast
changes on the hour as we look out
over Christmas color, out of storage early,
at independent calves at water,
and our persistent green still breathing
with each dawn’s dew. Almost everything
we need is near-at-hand before Thanksgiving
with a welcome splash of cheer
as we wait for rain, like always.
We need rain…

We damn sure do! The new green hasn’t turned gray yet. The morning dew won’t cure the drought, but it’s keeping the grass in the flats alive.
