I can imagine when I see some plants around here to into wilt that doesn't go away overnight how much they must be suffering which happened here earlier this year. We are getting rain now which is a blessing, and I am so thankful. Each time I read one of your comments on my page, I have to say thank you because they delight me. Sara

For sure; well said. In Az., we are having a heat spell. Everything is pleading to the sun. My neighboring trying to lasso a passing cloud.

We've had zero rain in July all but a couple of days over 100 feels like 104-110. I think we're about the same this year Joe. Only allowed to water one day a week. Ouch says our flowers and shrubs, not to mention the lawn. Rain is coming, I'm thinking positive. :-) Have a good day my friend, Bill

such a beautiful Haiku, Bill. Flowers do stretch their buds toward the sun, especially when it rains. Given the current heat wave here in Texas, we, too, are pleading to the clouds hoping for rain. I do like the way you write and think xoxo

We are the only ones who remain thankless to the creator ! Everything in Nature expresses getures of thankfulness. Great haiku, dear Bill !

Sometimes I wonder about humans being the top of creation? Nature seems to understand reality better then we do. :-) Thanks for commenting my dear friend. Smiles ~ Blessings Bill
