Seeds After Rain

After receiving much more rain than usual, although not unprecedented during this time of year, it was a sunnier and warmer day than the day before. I heard a House Finch chirping and singing as if it were a spring morning. The grass looked a shade greener and my garden was well watered due to the downpour. Speaking of birds, as they are known seed dispersers, perhaps all of that water from the rainstorm will aid in seed distribution, not only due to transporting (as water can move seeds) and burying of the seed, but also from the abundance of water. I could only imagine that any seeds that were dispersed anywhere in my garden, my yard, and perhaps the entire town, have been set in place where they lay and will possibly germinate and sprout next spring. Perhaps another rainstorm will solidify the likelihood of this outcome even more.
