Remember the crunchy brown lawns of last week? Well, this week is the antidote, as mother nature is blessing us with several days' worth of rain, giving those dry lawns (they weren't dead, only sleeping - the natural cycle for grass), a big long drink, as she can always be counted on to do in August. She's also helping out with a little pruning, as the winds have strewn the streets with leaves and branches. This is the end-of-season storm that wakes us to the reality that Labor Day will soon be upon us and that it's time to get packing; the annual pruning of summer people, as well (oops, that includes me).
