It feels like the wet and rain ☔️ are interminable right now. I’m completely “over” mud season here at our #pnw farm. But then…..

P E R S P E C T I V E:

“All around me as I write is a noise of Nature drinking: and Nature makes a noise when she is drinking, being by no means refined. If I count it Christian mercy to give a cup of cold water to a sufferer, shall I complain of these multitudinous cups of cold water handed round to all living things; a cup of water for every shrub; a cup of water for every weed? I would be ashamed to grumble at it…. And indeed this is the last if not the least gracious of the casual works of magic wrought by rain: that while it decreases light, yet it doubles it. If it dims the sky, it brightens the earth.” G.K. Chesterton from “The Romantic in the Rain.”
