Rain, at Last!
It has been so very dry here in the northeast and finally, a rainy spell has arrived. Even though the sprinklers have been watering and watering, there is nothing like a good soaking rain. It was very refreshing to stroll around taking it all in. The water droplets on flowers and foliage were amazing and pleasant to see. Please enjoy this photo collection of my farm with rain, at last!
