Rain!

It just rained! Wow...been so long since I've seen any, I wasn't sure what was going on!
The pond is about 3 feet lower than usual, everything crunches underfoot when you walk...and now we just got a little shower.
I hope, I hope, I HOPE that is a little teaser for a nice settling in rain to give everything outside something to drink!
I was putting out hay for the donkeys when the first drops fell. They didn't know whether to eat the hay or run out into the rain! It was interesting to watch...as they were clearly trying to make a choice. The hay won out. I stood with them and watched them eat for a while and headed on back to the house. It was a non issue for the goats. They want to eat regardless of anything else and hate rain, so they stayed happily in their sheds and munched on their hay. Donkeys, by the way, take "dust baths." They love to roll around in the dust...it's a donkey thing...but I think they're even tired of having such "plentiful dust" and just wanted to be refreshed a bit.
It was a short shower...but a welcome one. As I said, I'm hoping it was a "gentle reminder" of what's to come!
Thank you God for even the smallest of things...rain drops.
