Can’t Take Any More

August Rain (Small)

The ground just can’t take any more . . . for now. During the evening hours of Saturday and then again Sunday the two inches of rain managed to soak in. This morning there was a brisk thunderstorm and right now the backyard is saying, “Can’t take any more.” By noon the water had soaked in. Squish, squish. I have no reason to venture into the backyard and get muddied up. Dennis commented last week he couldn’t believe that there is moss growing in several large patches in our backyard. On the plus side, moss doesn’t need a lot of tending to look lush and green. Each season is unique. It does look a bit bare in the far back with the huge Hackberry branch that stretched out to the south being gone. If this is all that we have to contend with . . . it’s doable.
