We've had 2 1/2 inches of rain this week and it's raining again today.  It is so beautiful.  We have the windows cracked a bit to let in the cool breeze.  It makes it easier to hear all the pitter patter.  I love the sound it makes on our metal roof.

Everything is green.  I'd almost forgotten what that color looks like!  In some places the pastures are almost blinding after so much brown and gray for so long.  The smell of fresh grass must make all the animals rejoice!  I wonder how many calves were born, lived, and died without seeing green grass or smelling and tasting its sweetness?

I am reading a book called Gourmet Gardening.  It's just the sort of thing to read while it's raining.  God is blessing the ground in order to ready it for edible beauty.  I want to be ready to "help Him out."
