Rain from Heaven

Rain is a gift we've badly needed and it finally arrived Monday. Such a pleasure it was to hear the rain on the roof, but to make sure I wasn't imagining it, I took a peak out over the back yard. Yup! The patio and grass and trees were wet.

Naturally I had to get my camera out to document this rare event. After shooting this picture, I decided to see what the front yard looked like.  I didn't want it to rain on my  camera, so I stood on my front porch and looked out between the wall and the pillar to see over my flowerbed toward the street.

Those streaks you see in the photo are the streams of rain coming from the roof. They are forming a puddle that runs through the middle of the flowerbed. For a closer look at either photo, just click on it.

Here's a celebration  of the blessings of rain in music and photos. Enjoy.
