No Sacrifice Needed . . .

Another dog day 

Dawned -- air heavy, moisture filled.

Hard to breathe -- until . . .

Wet air clinched -- gathered

Itself into rain and strung

The clothesline with pearls.

We sat on the porch,

Watching rain cloak the mountains,

Breathing deep and cool.

 The clematis vine's

Wiry gilded seed pods shone

With tiny diamonds.

We got almost an inch of rain yesterday afternoon and we didn't have to sacrifice a brown dog. Whew! says Maggie --  (see Wikipedia link in yesterday's post.)

The video below is just the rain and the sound it makes on a metal roof. Pure bliss!
