This one struck me especially because I’m in a similar position, and in fact live pretty close to you, apparently, in SW/Central Va, and we got the same tiny rain. I watched the sky grow cloudy all day, and my heart quickened, I got all filled with angst and hope and whatnot, then when I woke up I thought – that’s it?? This is the big rainstorm? My garden has some issues in addition to lack of water, but I’m feeling very discouraged. The things I was most excited about are long shriveled.

It’s a heart and back-breaking love affair, this growing things.

Even only a covered deck. Some way of sitting outside safely during storms. I grew up with my grandmom’s screened-in front porch, and sat and watched almost every storm.

Congrats on getting something out of this cold front. It has been awful, hasn’t it?

I apologize for saying, ‘Oh screw you guys’ last night when RAL showed us the radar across NC. :)

I enjoyed it by sitting on my porch swing, watching and reading. Won’t amount to much here, but at least it was something.

We, too, are getting some good rain. Finally. Our lawn looks like a burlap sack.
