It rained! And praise the Lord because we needed it. It was getting pretty dusty and brown out here. A few days after the rain it is dusty and brown again, but the respite was nice! What made the rain even better was the sunset afterward, my goodness it was beautiful! John Darrin and I happened to be at Mom and Dad's house (Hi Mom! Hi Dad! I will hopefully see you at the hospital soon to welcome a little baby into the world! (Hurry up, Candace!))
This is the storm rolling in. The wind was picking up and blowing like crazy. It felt just awesome outside. You can see the rain coming in from the south west in this picture.
This picture isn’t necessarily beautiful or anything, I just like to look at it and remember what rain looks like.
We got a good inch of rain in about 20 minutes. It was a downpour of biblical proportions. Well, almost kind of maybe a little bit- alright, not at all. But it was refreshing!
Then the rain let up and turned into a nice drizzle, the sun began to set and turned the entire sky to the most spectacular orange.
The plants enjoyed their baths and everything seemed refreshed and full of life again. It is amazing how much a little bit of rain helps out. You can water all day long and your plants will look alright, but then it rains and they spring back to life!
Such a difference between the green grass and the plowed pasture out front.
As the sun continued to set and the rain continued drizzling, the sky morphed into an awesome canvas with the most vibrant oranges, and pinks, and yellows, and reds.
And then it was dark! It was a heck of a way to end the day. I am pretty sure that I could handle that kind of ending every day of my life!
Praying for more rain,
Michelle
