Rain!

 The wind is howling past the windows to my tower. But that's just a random observation. The real joy, and purpose of this post, IT'S RAINED! Finally some wet to settle the dust. And now maybe what's left of the rye will actually grows.  What survived the dust storm has been sitting there for months, an inch or so from the ground for months just waiting for a sip of liquid from the heavens. And now it's finally gotten a drink. Unfortunately this means the weeds are also happier. If only there was an easier way to get callouses.
