After weeks and even months of drought like conditions here on the Gulf coast, we are highly pleased, most joyful and even a bit euphoric about the rain. We have been blessed with an abundance of glorious water falling in droplets from the clouds since early morning. No matter where I go, or who I speak to, the conversation is likely at some point, directed toward the weather. I spoke to an acquaintance early this morning about the rain, and he was amazed at how, in just a short time, the grass and the plants respond to whatever nutrients the rain contains. "We should bottle the rain, or gather it in large barrels for future use," he said. No doubt, we've all noticed our watering systems, or even the use of a water hose used directly, has very little if any effect on the plant's growth. I am thankful today, for nature's process of lovely condensed vapor, no longer suspended in the atmosphere, but now in glorious droplet form. I am listening to the rain and smelling the sweet fragrances of wet grasses, plants and earth. Be blessed today....click on photos....
