Raining

One of the gardeners' best friends is rain. It is so necessary. It gives a steady soaking from the heavens like irrigation cannot do. It aerates the earth. It cleanses. Although the rain is falling on Long Island today my outdoor birds were still waiting for their food at 6am this morning. When I arrived at the feeder by the pond it was crystal clear. The rain which fell last night had cleaned the pond.

My garden hose (the non tangle kind!) is out back but not is use this morning because the LORD is taking care of it. I am very thankful.
