...thankful for the rain

Our area of the desert southwest is being blessed with an exceptionally heavy downpour today. We need this storm's drenching gift so much... While it will no doubt cause some inconvenience to some in this area, I am so very, very grateful for the rain.

The dirt/gravel road in front of our home is a river and our sad/needy front yard is a lake, (there are only a few determined little weeds there at present). I found 2 leaks in the ceiling that tell me the roof needs some attention... but we already knew that and I can't even get too worked up about that... it's been sooooo dry here, for sooooo long...

Thank you Heavenly Father for...



our temporary "lake"...








and the temporary river our cars used to drive on...



The washes are running, which means the aquifers will be taking in some water at last.

haha! During monsoon season we'd always get "Lake Superior" in our backyard! Luckily just a run around the wet lawn would get rid of all muddy evidence before mom caught us!

yay for monsoons!
