I’m just back from a walk after the rains of Hurricane Isaias. The storm lost strength as it headed inland, but still managed to soak us from Saturday night till early this morning.

We received several inches of much-needed rain, but could use even more, I’ve learned.

Still, there’s a fresh breeze and a feeling of satiation. We have branches and leaf clumps to pick up, but so far (touch wood) no major limbs lost. The wind is picking up even as I type these words. I hope it behaves itself.
