Wet stuff from the sky...

We haven't had rain in quite a few weeks now, but anyone who lives in our little community could have told the television weather wizards that today would be the day for rain up here in our hills.

And how would we have known that?  Simple:  The across-the-road neighbor has been tractor-ing up his fields for the past three days.  It just never fails..... when he tears up his fields, we get rain when he's all done. He finished up late yesterday afternoon.  It started raining this morning.

This particular neighbor has lived up here on his property for nearly 40 years. He raises goats, cows, and chickens, and he has a horse in one of the pastures.  He also has dogs that can herd the livestock, and cats that have kittens all year long and sometimes end up here on our property. (Orange Kitty being one of them.)

So when that neighbor tills his fields with that tractor of his, we all know that rain will fall the day after he puts the tractor back into his barn.  As I type, I can hear thunder off in the hills.... I'm hoping for a good soaking rain that will top off the pond.
