Rain! Glorious Rain!
Thunder, lightening, hail, and rain woke us up around 1 am today! It was a glorious sound! It's been so very long since we've had a thunderstorm, almost a year! How quickly I forgot what it sounds like. It was L.O.U.D! Hail was probably pea-sized but it sounded like God was throwing rocks at the house. It did a number pealing paint on the deck rails! Anyway, we have been praying for rain and we are so grateful for it! We don't have a rain gauge set up, so we'll have to watch TV news to see how much we received. All we know was that it was a lot because we have "Dewey Lake" in our backyard, which we did not have at all last spring and summer! Thank you Lord!

Yes, it was loud. It amazes me how our 3 year-old sleeps through things like that, but I guess that's an advantage to being young. And, I agree with you in how wonderful it really is! It's been too long & dry around here. I didn't know if you knew this or not, but Marc measures precipitation (and temperature) daily for the National Weather Service. So, as of 7:00 AM this morning, he measured 1.68 inches....then, of course, we had a bunch more today...so, we'll have to see what the grand total is tomorrow morning.
