A thought on abundance.

It rained this weekend. It hasn't rained for weeks. And suddenly after parsing out our water, being super careful when running the tap inside and out, using every drop of water for the hundreds of seedlings in the garden so carefully, prioritising the chickens and the pigs before the plants, and thanking our lucky stars for all our horse muck which is SO good at keeping in moisture whilst the unusually hot sun was doing its best to dehydrate all the beds, the rain suddenly fell out the sky and we had water seeping into dry soil and filling up water butts and splashing out of containers; we could see everything suck it up and delight in its abundance. And the same weekend (carefully timed before the rain arrived) we got another four trailer loads of horse muck from the neighbouring stables, working with our lovely neighbours to share the work of loading, and then share the booty .... a sky full of spring rain and a mound of gorgeous 3 yr old horse muck ready to be shovelled straight into waiting beds: I stood back and grinned like a muddy fool. THAT felt like wealth.
