The Rains return

  despite the brief threat of violent weather yesterday the  rain is a welcome respite  from the heat. Some people have been complaining but despite the threat of flooding in some areas ( you built in a flood plain duh ) its better than the drought , high heat and fires some parts of the country are facing.

  I've been quoting Ed Abbey too much but listening to the construction hammers out my window makes me seek solace in his words

"But love of the wilderness is more than a hunger for what is always beyond reach; it is also an expression of loyalty to the earth which bore us and sustains us, the only home we shall ever know, the only paradise we ever need - if only we had eyes to see." --Ed Abbey
