![Moisture is moisture
is the mantra of the dryland farmer
It doesn't matter if it's snow or rain

by the window and watch it fall
And any kid that complains
they can't go outside and play
will be quick-slapped by the adage](https://i0.wp.com/www.neilmeili.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Moisture-is-Moisture.jpg?resize=600%2C600&ssl=1)

MORNING GRATITUDES
After my morning gratitudes
look out the window
to great flakes
softling to the ground
Always room for one more
