Please, Just a Little Rain?

I've never been one to worry about the weather too much, unless it's snowing and I have to get home, but I'd really love to see some rain. It's been a dry week. The soil in our garden is cracking, hard and dusty. I watered the potatoes and squash family vegetables on Tuesday. The corn was still holding on to water (amazing to look down after several days without rain and see droplets of water inside the stalks) so I skipped it. I noticed today that it was no longer holding water. The spinach was especially rough looking. I had my mini side kick help me fill a couple 18 gallon totes up with water from the creek, hauled them up to the garden, then watered everything with a pitcher. Actually, my son just played in the totes while I watered the garden. Oh, to be 6 years old again.

We finished up over half of the large garden. Tomorrow, we get to repeat the process, finish the rest, and water the small garden too.

So this is my request, please, Lord, just a little rain tonight?
