It's raining!!!!

I am happy!!!

I went to sleep last night

listening to the first few drops

falling on the skylight

above our bed.

I woke up this morning to the same

sound

but a little heavier.

I did a lot of watering yesterday

and I am glad I did.

The ground will soak up the rain now,

instead of it running off the

dry, cracked

earth.

We haven't had any rain for quite awhile

now.

I hesitate to say I'm happy it's raining

because of all the destructive

flooding just West of us.

Nature is cruel sometimes

and

there isn't much we can do

when it turns against us

and causes so much

grief.

Man is also

cruel

as witnessed

in the

Gulf of Mexico.

I could go off on that subject

but

I

won't.

It speaks for itself

and we don't need another

opinion

added to the peanut gallery.

So,

it's the beginning

of yet

another week

and are

 we glad for it?

I hope so.
