Rain!

The first rain of the season just came last night! The last rain we had was at about the middle of May, and it was very light. And of course the previous rainy season was a drought year. We may have another dry year but for now I'm just happy to see everything all wet and shiny! Oh the joy of the lovely-smelling damp soil! Summer's dusty leaves are rain-washed and glowing! I'd write more but I really need to go back outside and smell the rain again!
