While I’m waiting I do what I can. I send my roots down deep. I bend my stem towards the shade. I pull up from the ground and I draw down from the sun.
I find ways to improvise water while I wait for the rain.
This post is a love letter back to Roxanne and Kim’s comments on a post from last week, a long-overdue post that had been simmering on the back burner all summer. Their words, along with Dragonfly and Abigails’s, were straight from the watering can. Photos via me, circa Round Barn Winery.
This makes me so happy that I am sitting here grinning and happily speechless. Time for those clouds to crack open and get to business.
Also--ALL that green! *swoon* I'm in a dustbowl here right now and those images are so good for my soul.

The rain will come!

I love all the heavy WATER in those photos. Clouds full of it, grapes full of it, YOU full of fresh clean water as you wait for actual rain to pour down.
And yay, my name was in your post!

Something so purifying and peaceful about water...and greenery.
