(California has been in a drought,
so when it finally rained, it was a blessing.)

I am so thankful you are receiving much needed rainfall and I hope it continues to soak into the ground to help California’s Thirst.. While it rains there, at last the Sun is shining here these last few days.. 🙂

  Thanks, Sue, I hope it continues, too. I’m not sure if we’re out of the drought around here, but I’m sure more would benefit. Other parts of the state are still very dry. And I’m glad you have sunshine now, too! It’s been crazy with such opposite extremes in different areas…xoxo

It seems like this winter the weather is messed up everywhere, too much snow, too much rain, too much cold, too much drought. I hope spring returns us all to normal.

Awesome haiku and it took me in one direction and then another. I could feel the last part in my soul as I wait for Spring 🙂

hasn’t rained here since December, but that’s seasonal not a drought. However once we hear the rainbirds singing and we have an early downpour like last night time to write a haiku – however you have captured it so well, and I’m watching mi esposa sitting reading in the garden, that I think I’ll try to capture her under a blue sky instead.
