At last rain fell last week - after nearly 6 weeks of dry and of late scorching heat, the rain finally came to the garden. You could hear the collective deep breath and sigh from every plant, moss and lichen. Beyond my garden (and my own soaring summer water bill) over on my photography/travel blog - small planet perambulations - I'm giving growing thought to water issues, and what shape my next photo/film project will take around communicating our planet's thirst.Back in this little garden, after almost a week reprieve, the heat is returning - today 90's, tomorrow 98 is predicted - I'm back to watering... and the Anna's hummingbirds, goldfinches, bush tits, song sparrows and other are soaking it in as well.
