Let it rain again

This week I am enjoying all of the rain.  Not driving in the rain or getting caught in the rain with only flip flops, but seeing the beauty and majesty of summer showers.

On Thursday afternoon we saw a beautiful rainbow in the sky.  It was huge.  It was the kind we used to see all the time growing up in the country, but hardly ever see in the cluttered city landscapes.  

On Wednesday we saw some magnificent flashes of lightning paint the sky with bright whites, purples, and pink.  I think there was yellow as well.  Thankfully there were no strikes nearby and hopefully all was well elsewhere.  

I also went out just before the rain and saw an amazing skyline painted pink and just awesome. 

My summer garden has also loved the rain.  I collected a basket full of jalepno peppers on Thursday morning and another handful Thursday night.  I collected a small basket full of tomatoes, which I have used in soup, rice, and a morning smoothie.  It still amazes me how big of a difference a good shower will make on a garden.  Nothing artificial can recreate the goodness God gives naturally.

I  hope it rains again today - I'll pass on the lightning but the rain is so good!!
