We All Need Water

Forecast predicts one hundred degrees ten days in a row, without a wink.

I fed the birds this morning and watered thirsty flowers from my kitchen sink.

Filled two rather large child-sized wading pools completely to the brink.

For all woodland creatures who are too desperately thirsty to even think.

Inspired by my husband who saw a baby fox trying to get a drink.

Water the necessity for our survival. I do pity those countries that suffer severe drought. We have to count our blessings sometimes. Great write Caren. Tom
