Imagine my surprise when this young lady arrived at the local gun club this morning!
Rain! I shall keep reminding myself that we "need rain" and praise the Lord for this rain that he has sent us. I realize, of course, that we do need rain. The lakes, streams, rivers, and creeks are at dangerously low levels, and ski resorts are in desperate need of snow. While I do realize this, I must admit that I really enjoyed the brief period of dry, 75°-80° weather that visited us recently!
When we left to attend Bible class at Harvest Christian Center last evening, it was lightly sprinkling. Apparently, while I slept this sprinkling became an earnest downpour. This morning, I deemed it prudent to drive Laura in Mr. Nitro to her Yaris—thereby avoiding the walk along the sidewalk to the carport that would have exposed her to the rainwater cascading from the eaves.
It is forecast that this rain shall continue for several days. I am discontinuing my grilling plans for the weekend and shall change our menus to meals that can be produced indoors.
