it's been brown. All the brown browner. All the green with a layer of brown dust. Rain began yesterday evening and continued all through the night. I left the door open. Only the screen door. Tay was In, first time in months. i woke on and off to listen. Rain came. Steady. Pouring down from the "Sky". The weather app on the phone is great. Hour by hour and updated if there is change. Reliable. Said Rain would stop at 11 am. would resume at noon. Perfect. When i went out to feed Goats in the Corridorof the Curry House i looked to the left because of movement down the way ...squirrel... but what i saw was Surreal. All that Brown was
Green
the immediate Response of Lichen and Moss who love the branches and trunks of the Oaks. How they had Waited. The leaves, glistening with a tentative morning Sunlight......it was very truly breathtaking and very truly Magical. I have loved reading more and more the Science of it but in that moment , it was sheer Magic.
intermittant SUN during the day and Rain resuming at 6 pm, again....a so welcome window for Evening Feed. and on, now 2 more days, then Gone for time being. Here, on this Hill, it is truly a Great Life. Still. Still.
