The Rains Came

We've been hearing for some time now that it would rain today.  The morning started out so beautiful that it was hard to accept that it actually would rain today. And then, around noon it did begin to sprinkle, but it wasn't much rain.  I went outdoors and did a little more yard work and the sprinkling stopped.  I lighted a fire in the fire ring and burned up more of the brush.  It seemed like a good time to do it because the sprinkling rain would lessen the chance of the fire escaping the fire ring.  That's something I feel concern about when I do light a fire there.

Then around four, the weather stopped toying with us and starting with a streak of lightning and a huge boom of thunder that made Rusty jump and look around nervously, the rain began to fall in earnest.  Now it's dark and rain is pattering steadily.  After a week of dry weather, we welcome the rain.
