KNUTE SKINNERAugust 15There's a light drizzle today at half ten.The ground moistens, and the dry, yellow grass.Our two donkeys shelter under a spruceand note the absence of the scorching sun.(The foal's so young he thinks that he was bornin a Middle Eastern country known as Ireland.)I made a fire this morning for the first timesince the last day it rained, six weeks ago.Then, when I went out front to check the downpipe,some steady drips were wetting the rain barrel.I had to admit to myself that I felt at homeand laughed at our swim suits still pinned to the line.You'd need to stand in one spot to get wet,but even so it feels nearly like rain.80WESTERLY, No.2, JUNE, 1989
