Welcome as the rain...

Of all the wonders in our world, what could be more amazing than fresh water falling from the skies? Food and sun may be vital for a plant or animals survival, but consider hydration. How long can one survive without water? Unless you were born to be a cactus or a camel, it would be a short, painful life my friend.


And so I welcome the rain.
Spring manifested in liquid form; life giving, life sustaining.

My little friend, Kilroy - a Jefferson salamander, and I wish you happy Spring and blessed showers. You'll find me at the vernal pools, admiring early life forms, while awaiting the trilliums and warblers. Spring is finally on its way.
