My front lawn has been a hard-baked surface for several weeks. Rain has been scarce.
I tried driving a stake into my neighbour's yard a few days ago, to help him keep a gate in place, and I could hardly break the surface of the ground. I made the point on the stake sharper. I hit the stake harder with my hammer. I purchased half an inch. My neighbour looked over his shoulder to see if someone stronger was standing idly nearby. The look of disappointment on his face was disconcerting!
Yesterday, during a brief isolated shower, I grabbed my camera.

After capturing a couple of isolated rain drops on film, another thought entered my mind. I should grab my hammer and stake. I should try again to impress my neighbour with my strength.
The rain quickly past. So did the thought.
