A summer rain
The downpour was fierce Sunday night as the lightning struck and thunder roared. Only those who don’t understand the need might have cursed the inundation of wet we received as roads flooded and water rolled into gutters and storm drains.
And needed it was, and more is needed. This is a hardy land, yet even the hardiest land cannot endure forever the absence of rain.
Our neighbors in Georgia have the worst of it. Atlanta’s prized Lake Lanier is practically no more as docks and boat houses sit on dry land where they once floated.
Yes, Sunday night’s downpour was manna from heaven yet we need more, and more, and still more. Dance if you must under the stars, perhaps even say a little prayer. Whatever it takes, the soil is dry and the heavens will hopefully open up again and again to quench our dire thirst.

Couldn’t agree with you more!!Hopefully we will be Blessed with some more, maybe not so much so quick, just a “Cooling Off Shower” that last for awhile, that gives the grounds a good soaking, it also helped with the fires and hopefully slowed them down or perhaps put them out!! That Pete moss is hard to put out but it didn’t hurt anything. Thank You Lord, God Bless Our Troops & God Bless America
