Over Indulgence

so welcome the rain
arid ground starved of moisture…
a paddle for wheels

Timely write Harry. Our June has been bloody wet, very needed too. A mate said the other day his water tanks are closer to full than they have been for 4 years, and winter has but begun. Thanks for these great words Harry.

You are so right my friend, it either rains too much or not at all, we sometimes, like Cape Town, have a very long drought, like a couple of years back, followed by flash floods. A great Senyru. Your few words explain a great deal. Hope everyone can swim, perhaps there will be another 40 days and forty nights of rain and the world floods! Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Hello Harry Horseman, Sometimes it rains too much. the ground gets saturated with water that takes time to soak in the ground. enjoy your day my friend.

In India it rained very heavily past few days. I see sun today, a welcome change. Great imagery. Wonderful Haiku

Never a happy medium, we get too little or too much. Hope you're well Harry. Tom

It did not rain, it poured. Great thinking.
