Rain! It actually rained on us yesterday...right here on our house, instead of making a wide loop around this area as it has the past few days. The radar maps have shown rain in the north, rain to the west, rain in the south, rain to the east. Austin was a clean bulls-eye - no hits - but FINALLY yesterday evening, the aim was directed at us. Thank you, Lord!
However...umm, not to seem ungrateful, but...could we have some more? Please? Just a few good downpours with enough OOMPH! to clean the back-end of my van?
Okay, I admit, that sounds really selfish. But I don't want rain just so I can get out of washing my van to see out of my back window again. It's also because of the purple flowers down on the corner...they're barely hanging on!
In fact, I thought they were saying goodbye last week...the last blooms on the last remaining plant were drying up and dropping to the rock-hard dirt underneath. But a splash of purple nearby caught my eye...sure enough, another plant had somehow managed to suck some life into itself and pop out some bright new flowers. But without more rain, I know even those tough purple flowers can't survive much longer.
Here's a good one of the boys on our walk this morning...enjoying the cooler breeze that tagged along with last night's rain...
