Yes, we humans have enjoyed the warm days of October.  But our earth is dry from lack of rain.  Our trees, shrubs, gardens, and even lawns are suffering.  The stress will reveal itself over time.  Some of us have continued to drag out our hoses, especially to our newly planted or transplanted plants.

Today I am thankful for this steady, long-lasting rainfall.  It is just what we need.  What our earth needs.
