THE DROUGHT BUSTER

It began Friday, just a few drops now and then, sometimes a quarter-inch shower or two.

But last night, the bottom dropped out. We’ve had real rain.

So, I learned a little about how to take photos in the dark and stayed out awhile just to enjoy the difference in everything.

The birds sing differently this morning. The clattering of the tree leaves sounds different. Every sound seems muffled by humidity.

The skies overhead are still gray and heavy with more to come.

Thanks be to God.

I know! I looked up and thought, “Oh no, the sky is falling!” but then I realized that I had forgotten what those flashes of light were and that stuff falling from the sky was actually a good thing!

And less than a week after I wrote those verses!
We’ve had plenty of rain too. Doesn’t tend to be an issue here. Glad it has rained for you.
