and still more rain

Category: gardening among the rocks | Posted: Tue Nov 07, 2006 4:33 am

Just because I'm a 4th generation Washingtonian, let me say, I do love rain! I love sitting in my art studio (fancy name for a painting corner) working on Christmas cards and listing to the sound of nothing but rain coming down, splashing in puddles and rattling in downspouts, the pinging on the roof of my old pickup truck and the splats on the tarp over my firewood.
But, here's a pic from a few days ago, for all of you who've never seen a Washington prairie or the Black Hills (the not-so-famous black hills, that is)

Just missed snapping a coyote, he ran across the field. It's a bit dark, but this time of year it's tough to get a full daylight shot!

You sure do paint a pretty mental picture of rain Critter and I'd agree. Love the sound of rain.

I love WA state so much. Even with the rain. It, and your pic, are just so gorgeous.

I can't say that I'm an ardent fan of rain either Mary. I know it does the garden good but weeks and weeks of continual downpours really gets me down. Your piccie is much like parts of Scotland that it's uncanny.
