Rain, Rain Go Away. Come Again Another Day!

We live in Atlanta, Georgia. You may have heard about the recent flooding - it's been in the news. We received 15 inches of rain in a single day. It has rained for three straight days. I believe we can say the drought is over.

There aren't words to explain what this has been like. We were very fortunate and didn't have any flooding on our street. But ten people lost their lives in flash floods. One was a two year old little boy swept out of his father's arms. That pain must be beyond words.

If you pray, please pray for these families. Those that have lost loved ones and for those that have the long road to recovery after the water recedes trying to put their lives back together.

Here is a sample of what it's been like:

I'm So Ready For Spring

I understand Georgia has been in a drought for several years and all the rain we've been getting is much needed. I also understand we are to to be thankful no matter what the circumstances. But in the flesh, I want warm temperatures. I want sunshine on my face and soft breezes in my hair. I want to run barefoot through the grass. I know warmer temperatures are just around the corner, but I am tired of winter.

OK enough griping for one day.

I hope you enjoy a few pictures of the flowers that are blooming in my world.
