March 29

It rained today. A lot.

It's a good thing, really, because we desperately need the moisture here. It's been far too dry for far too long.

It's also a good thing because it reminds me that even the biggest rain clouds can ultimately deliver some pretty significant blessings, even though we don't particularly enjoy the sting of the drops as hurtle from the sky to the earth below. It's a blessing to be reminded that just as the flowers and my little back yard garden will ultimately benefit from the showers, I will too. In one way or another.
