Hope

It rained hard last night. Finally. We had gone months without a significant downpour so it sure felt good to wake up to the smell of damp earth. The plants and shrubs in my yard were especially pleased. My garden is pretty much done for the summer except for a hardy watermelon vine and the cucumber vines you see pictured above. As if in gratitude to the rain, the flowers appeared this morning. Could cucumbers be on the way? I sure hope so. I want to learn how to make pickles.
