Thanks Rain!

I am happy to have a second day in a row with rain. I'm sure that I'll be biting my tongue in another month when the cats and dogs are falling, but I heard yesterday that this area is suffering the driest August/September in the last 70 (seventy!!) years. It has been awfully pleasant from a "spending time outdoors" perspective, but any extreme weather event has got to have some lasting repercussions on local wildlife. I know that our garden has been suffering, despite my half-hearted attempts to water -I just can't bring myself to water extensively in the "rainy" season and I haven't fixed our sprinklers yet- so I can only imagine what the effect has been on larger wild trees and plants and animals.

Unfortunately for me, the rain interrupted a little afternoon photo session. Ah well. Back inside to work.
