Rain, Rain...

Please come back!!!!

Ok, so it's a bit early for spring showers...but we've been parched all winter and it looks like we are heading into prime, spring camping weather with the prospect of a rather nasty drought already on our hands...unless of course we get the spring floods of a couple years back in place of the showers...and I don't really think anyone welcomes either extreme. Droughts are not pleasant, but neither is the necessity of rain boots and levees. So...our little "extreme weather" watch that blew through just as fast as most late winter storms...well, it could have taken a slower time of it. It might have rained for maybe an hour here...and for the most of that time, it was raining so hard that everything just ran off into the storm gutters. Despite the fact that I am a well-known fan of the sun and warm, mostly dry weather...I would have gladly given a few days over to overcast, slow and steady rain days to help water the earth a bit around here.

So...Rain, Rain...Please come back!!! Cut our state a little slack. Give a drink to the parched, dry land...Before Texas summer gets out of hand!!!

LOL! Very creative. I sent you a couple of messages last night! I was wondering if y'all got any of the crazy stuff that seemed to be blowing around up there. It looked as if it didn't really get to bad till it got past you. Anyway, hope you're feeling better!! love you

How about I just send you some of this nasty snow we're getting nice and thick here. That would solve the dry issues, and I'm sick of snow.
