rebeccmeisterAh, rain, rain, rain, in its gloriosity of wetness.
I am immensely happy, practically skipping around. (verily, I skipped)
I have not been thusly rained on in an exceedingly long time, and I should point out that I never tire of it.
It is as they say--moss grows on the north side of my bones (shamelessly stolen from Bus Poetry). I am a child of the water.
I spent the day proctoring two final exams--my students suffered mightily. I felt like a miscreant, daring to check my e-mail occasionally while keeping an eye on them. Proctoring is utterly tedious, especially when one trusts one's students.
But now their suffering has at least partially ended, whereas I have a stack of grading to finish. And then the semester will draw to a close. My students struggled more this semester than last semester. I wish I could have done more to help them, but I tried to do as much as I could. I hope they perceived some benefit in my course.

The Palo Verde I don't worry about, they're desert plants but I'd love to keep the Lemon tree and she requires a lot of water. This soak is the best kind!
