What a delicious sound was heard this evening...RAIN! YAY! It was such a wonderful treat to hear the rain hitting the slate roof and even the distant sound of the rumbles of thunder didn't seem to bother me while trying to sleep. I took much comfort and joy in the simple sounds and sights of Mother Nature and God giving us a much needed dose of rain. Although it wasn't enough to alter the condition of the severe drought or even turn the grass green again it was very much appreciated and needed. Hope springs eternal that this is the beginning of things to come or continue. We need about a solid month of heavy to medium rain in order to help reverse some of the damage done by this terrible drought the southeast is suffering through. Not complaining, just stating a fact MN or G! Thanks!!!!!!!!!
