Clouds, clouds, billowing and piling and streaming and tossing and hovering and teasing...will it ever rain?
We got a few sprinkles last night, and the sky is gray again today...but will it ever really rain?
The farmers are anxious, their faces reflecting the empty clouds and the hopeful fields. ..wanting green, wanting moist, dark dirt and dripping stalks.
Yesterday one of my farmer friends said:
"We're supposed to be under a tornado watch, but it doesn't really look very promising."
I think it's time for rain.

I'm praying for rain right along with you. Is that a wheat field in the bottom picture?
Yes. The green stuff is wheat. All winter the cattle graze on it, but around the first of March they start letting it grow. Before long it will be lush and waving. April, around here is beautiful. By May, when the brown grass beside the road turns green, the wheat will be gold. I'll try to take some more pictures then.
I would love to see more photos of where you live. It's beautiful. :)
