We got a good downpour Friday night, right after I snapped this photo of raindrops on the lettuce in my garden, just before dark. In fact it must have rained for at least an hour after I took the photo. I bet the veggies and flowers (grass, too) are rejoicing to be able to take in Mother Nature’s milk. If it wasn’t dark and I wasn’t afraid of stepping on the thistle in the yard, I would have gone out and done a dance of joy with them.

By the end of the weekend, I hope to have made a nice little salad from the red lettuce. Can’t wait to see how it tastes.
