Rain in February

Rain yesterday. Rain today. Rain in February, 1.25 inches. Much needed. It should have been snow, but the temperatures were much too warm for February. But the trees, the plants, each and every one happy.

And in the rain, one of my favorite things in my world of nature, here on my mountain. American Chestnut (Castanea dentata) with their rain soaked leaf edges a classic ocean wave pattern.
