Kristine, I could so vividly picture you there in the garden (I have two beds--roses and perennials) and the need for water is a daily concern.
When I kept reading the word 'hunted' throughout your lines I was intrigued. Then with your explanation it all made sense.
Hoping you've had some precipitation come to that part of the world... and yes, even here in Seattleland this morning's weather is changing--I can feel it.
Didn't mean to not ever reply to this, and it's been over a month... but as I'm revisiting some posts I saw this and just wanted you to know I'm grateful for you. For your reading, for your writing, and for your example of faithfulness in creativity and serving/supporting other writers. <3
This made me feel those hot summer days, and I'm not sorry that they are slowly slipping away. :) Beautiful.
Not sorry either!! Ready for cooler days!

We'll blink and Fall will be here.
