Pre-rain

Up early again this morning to set the sprinklers. The weather people have been predicting rain for weeks with little accuracy, at least in our immediate area. Despite their prediction and our skies, we proceeded.

The skies started to change suggesting the rain would miss us once again. There was thunder over the ocean not 3 miles from us but not a drop for us. About :30 minutes later we shut our system down and went inside. We no sooner closed the door when the heavens opened up and THE RAINS CAME in a deluge.

We need every drop and then some. Our rain levels, according to the weather folks, are down almost 12" - an extreme drought condition. Today's relief will help, especially since more is predicted today and tomorrow. Thank you Lord.
