The Rain Revisited

As a cloud cover begins to come to our area and reports of rain several hundred miles to the west of us come in over Facebook, we are prepared for a soaking. The weatherman said it could be heavy in places.

Gardeners welcome rain any time of the year but especially after everything is planted. Seed and seedlings are in. Almost each seed has sprouted. The steady rain aerates the ground. It soaks the earth unlike any manmade instrument.

Personally Iike the song, "I Love A Rainy Night" by Eddie Rabbit, I enjoy the sound of the rain hitting the roof and the street. It is a beautiful sound to me. I even enjoy the thunderstorms at night and lightening flashing in the sky.

So let the rain come, it is good, it will water the earth and make things beautiful.
