Finally

I would just be wrong, if it didn't do a post on the wet stuff that fell from the sky yesterday. I woke around 6 am to the sound of something I was almost completely unfamiliar with...rain...hard rain. It was the most wonderful sound! We haven't had more than a 3 minute sprinkling of rain in well over 6 months. We are in the worst drought ever recorded, since recording began in Texas. Everything looks lifeless....the green of the leaves almost looks grey, or like someone slid the saturation bar to the left. It just all looked so bad. The roads are filthy and everything has layer upon layer of dust and grim on it. Many of the trees and bushes are deader than dead. It looks like New England Fall except it's death, not the changing of the season. Not a pretty picture....and then the rain. It fell hard and fast for well over an hour and then continued steadily for at least another hour. We probably got around 3 or more inches. It was wonderful! After everyone was ready for church, the girls grabbed there almost-never-used umbrellas and headed out the front door to experience the real thing.
