Where would we be without rain? Water is necessary for the survival of all living things and without it, we would not exist. We live on the Big Blue Marble and rain plays a vital role in adding fresh water to our planet. The science behind the creation of these all important droplets is complex. Rain can come in many forms. Monsoons and hurricanes represent a worst case scenario, washing away precious resources while beautiful spring rains create crop irrigation and the planets landscape not to mention my all important floral garden! We have been deprived of this precious resource this season. It has only rained a handful of times leaving zone 4 in a drought. Once again I am fortunate to have planted drought tolerant flowers like snap dragons, salvia, yarrow and roses. They are providing early blooms for my gardens and as the season progresses my hope is to experience more miraculous rain.
