Thankful For Rain

Rain drops on Colorado Blue Spruce (Picea pungens).

Severe drought. A sad situation. But today, at long last it has rained all day. Still coming down steadily. I’m watching as the inches slowly creep up. As I write this the rain gauge tells me 2.89 inches. A bit of a dent in our 18 inch deficit.

Hallelujah.
