When I faintly heard "yow" in what I thought was a dream, I finally realized it was Thumper. It had started to purr down "ants and dogs" at 3:08am Sunday morning. So I got up to pet him and thunk to myself that is actually WAS RAINING for the first time in the Sierra Foothills since Spring sometime.(At least that's what they tell me. I've only been here at the Farm a little over a month) I went back to bed after feeding Thump and pulled the covers over now that it was cooler. Yeehaa!
I woke up to our Rooster doodledoing about ten to six as usual and stayed up. Transition/transformation morning! Each bioregion/area we live in has its transition times and days where you know there is a newness in the air. This is it! After weeks of hot, arid/dry weather our sacred land deeply soaked up this precious moisture for roots, leaves, shoots, soil, and dusty gravel roads.
Thumper is glad the downpour is over and we humans are filled with grattitude it came!
Next time,
Our Earth Guy on the Farm-tom
Exciting to have the first rain, especially in the middle of the best weather time of the year here in northern California. It turned unusally cold in the Bay Area this weekend. The smell of a fresh rain!
