i have tried. 7 times. to post a pic. Each time taking battery juice. To no avail. Typepad is tired i guess.
But just to say here.
It's RAINING. like RAINING. RAIN. An hour now. RAIN.
I think we have made it. I knock on wood again, the old cowboy's Mother's chair here, knock on wood, but i think we have made it through a Fire Season without having to Run. As i write that…the bones in my chest feel imminent….my body, holding my heart. Feel it physically. without having to Run. The forecast for the next 10 days, every day, a chance of Rain. I do not love Rain but i LOVE Rain. I put on the raincoat now, to close the door. To sleep. under Rain.

    Rain isn’t my favorite weather so I always think if it as glistening nourishment to be absorbed for future lushness. A good raincoat is a must and provides me comfort while exploring my wet outdoor living rooms. To know it keeps you and goats safe is another plus!

    Rain as relief from the threat of fire. Rain as the heavens joining you in sorrow.

    So grateful for your rain. We have been having a wet summer here in Maine and I’ve done my share of complaining, but really – what a blessing.

    We get dry enough here that I know the joy of rain when it starts again. My relief is always for my grandmother, but each year it also becomes more possible that it will be a reality here too.
