A gentle rain has started to quench the parched earth. You can sense a collective sigh of relief by all living things. It's a nice steady rain that will have a chance to soak in. The best kind.
The dust, cobwebs and pollen are washing away. The moss will soon be turning green again. Perhaps the flowers on the vines will open and the wind due tomorrow will help them get pollinated. I've loved the sun, but I love the rain as well. The all-powerful water without which nothing can survive. The poor hedgehog was out searching for it the other day. I hope she's okay. Alex gave her a dish of water.
Furnace has had 2.5 mm of rain this month through yesterday. We didn't have that much even. We'll see after the next three days how far we catch up. In the meantime, I had a glass of our White Seahorse Solaris last night with my fish pie. It's very pleasant.
Alex's Vevor distillation machine arrived today. Another project awaits in the winery. He also bought an apple crusher that takes a bushel of whole apples and chops them up. No more hand chopping, or so they say.
