the rain came



When the skies darkened from the west and the winds kicked up, it was like a magic signal sent out to everyone.  Doors swung open and kids ran outside while parents marveled at the sight of rain -- a sight that hasn't been seen for many, many months.   Little boats were sailed down the water-filled gutters while umbrellas were abandoned in the yard.  It was almost surreal to see the dark clouds instead of the accustomed blue.  We are so thankful the rain came down today.
