RAIN ... GLORIOUS COOL RAIN


We had a 40% chance of rain yesterday, yet none came. Again last night, we had a 30% chance ... but nothing.
And today we have a 60% chance of rain all day. And it is now 12:55p .... THE RAIN IS HERE ... we live just on the front side of this system. See the greens and yellows .... that's all rain ... and it's coming HERE ... it started approximately an hour ago and looks like it will continue for most of the afternoon at least as this storm system seems to be moving VERY slowly.
The children are soooooooo excited .... they are taking turns running outside to splash in the puddles .... it has been SOOOO long since we had rain that the grass is dead and the BIG trees (giant oaks, maples, and hackberries) are rapidly dropping crunchy brown leaves. I have to admit that I am nearly GIDDY over this rain ... because I am thinking of our well, our flowers, and all of God's creation that is SOOOOOOOOOO thirsty for this refreshment.
HOORAYYYYYYYYY !! Thank you Lord for sending this SPLENDID rain ....
UPDATE 626pm: We received a full 1/2 inch of rain. HOORAY !!
