We’d all forgotten what it’s like to not face daily drought
Fresh rivers run along the curbs
High water lights flash
No driving over a low-water crossing
No one complains
Clover tastes leftover raindrops on the grass
Polo sniffs the wet ground for fresh frogs
Next door, Scout patrols the fence line
Even Major, behind us, is happy,
And my dogs dig in the dirt and come in wet and muddy.
fresh frogs <– 🙂
Everyone sounds so refreshed, so relaxed, so content, so happy. I’m smiling at this vignette. No one complains…even Major is happy.
Oh, how I hope this fall is one of those seasons – when we forget what it’s like to be in a drought. EXCEPT — I don’t want us to forget. I want us to be far more proactive in water planning and conservation. The state of CA drives me
crazy with their lack of foresight!
Our relatives in Austin, Wimberley and Dallas tell us weekly how dry it is out Texas way.
Fresh rain is a cause for rejoicing, for sure.
