January 27, 2007 The First Rain A soft feeling of new life greeted me as I went out to feed this morning. Instead of brutal cold dry wind a gentle mist was falling. Suddenly it was like the whole world had been holding its breath and exhaled. The birds were all out scratching in their yards. We may even get as much as two inches over the next few days. For us in the desert, the beginning of spring rains starts renewal of life and plants. Weeds and wildflowers will sprout everywhere and rush to create seeds by June first. The new year has begun. |
