Essentials we can't live without







Two essentials we can't live without
in the country...
rain and dogs;
in that order.

Riding my mower today
I found myself bouncing across
some serious cracks ...
weathermen are saying
another drought is possible.

With little to no rain in Poetry
for the last 30 days,
I haven't figured out why
the grass keeps growing;
lots to learn out here.

And the dogs...smelled today's rain long before I sensed it was upon us. Got the tractor put up in time.

So the rain barrels are full again...keeps our garden alive without drawing down our well. That's a 2Fer out here.


And here's today's moment of poetry in Poetry, Texas. Adios for now.
