wet stuff!!! it's falling from the sky!!!

in the past two days, we've actually had rain! it's rained for at least a couple of hours each morning soaking the ground and helping to cool things off a bit. yesterday afternoon, we were driving to the doctor's office and the temperature gauge said 80 degrees. 80 degrees in the middle of the afternoon!!! it's unheard of here!

this morning, michael david-swaddled tight in a blanket-and i sat on the front porch just listening and watching. it was so comforting to sit there with my calm, relaxed child and smell the sweet air. watching the water fall from the house and run down the street made me wish for a good book and a nice blanket. instead, i've cleaned the kitchen and started a load of laundry while the child sleeps in the swing (finally). my how quickly life changes when a baby is a part of it.

thank you, Jesus, for the rain!
