Precious Rain

(Picture: Mama Robin taking a break from her babies and enjoying the rain.)


In Kansas, an August rain is cause for celebration!

Today we received 30/100’s of soft rain, watering thirsty soybean plants and greening up the prairie grasses and hay for livestock.
The cattle all got a refreshing bath, and the birds swooped through the air washing off their dusty feathers. The family dog enjoyed rubbing her back in the mud (she hasn't seen mud in quite awhile).
I love the cooler temperatures, reminding me of the coming days of fall and winter. While it was just a little rain, it gave my heart a boost and keeps the hopes and dreams of a fine harvest alive.
