With water or without is the way We do weather, given where We live. Asia serves up plenty of water in Monsoon, and Africa occasionally has rains, but they are much more modest. Either way, We know when it is raining. We notice. Depending on where one lives, different courses of action recommend themselves, because one thing water likes to do is congregate. Sometimes it makes streams, but other times it makes torrents. Can get messy for those not as Quick as We are.

Plants react well to rain. They grow. We have seen this happen. Most of Us still opine that rain is responsible for our own growth. We are big, so it stands to reason that rain is the key ingredient. We have been exposed to other theories, but they are not as engaging as our version, so We stick with that one.

Science has its adherents, but We are in no hurry, thank you.
