Did you hear the grateful gulps coming from your garden last night? Maybe the thunder obscured it, but surely those sounds were out there. Anyone who's tried to water lately has been frustrated ... you water and water and the next day, dust bowl.
Gardeners aren't like regular people. (I won't say "normal.") Regular people complain about rain. It's a spoiler. It literally rains on parades and weddings and graduations.
But gardeners check weather forecasts obsessively. We watch the skies for a sign. We ask each other the latest.
Last night's rain was much appreciated! Merci buckets.
