Lotsa Rain, Lotsa Green

Outside, the trees and grass and other plants are a bright green, a real feast for the eyes. This results from the 5.2 inches of rain we had between yesterday (3.6 inches) and this morning (1.6 inches).

Some say it's from the nitrogen in rain, others from the higher levels of oxygen that rain contains compared to other water.


Whatever deep hunger in the plants' roots is filled by the celestial showers, it has made our mountain even more beautiful.
