Week's End

Week's end rain
Pit, pat, drip, flood
Mud, slush, slide

Water overflowing and rising
Muddy water
Wash the fields
Prepare for the spring

Leaves composted
Prepare the soil for the seed's
Nurturing to great fruit bearers
Majestic gardener is at work today.

That sounds like what we have had all week, but no one around here has been complaining much. We had such a dry summer last year, rain is a blessing. Enjoyed the read, have a wonderful evening. Ron
