How I wish I could send some of the rain that fell all day yesterday and, so far, all day today to the places that suffer from drought. Donning the waterproof parka and gathering up the wet umbrella to walk Diana in the rain is getting old. She doesn't mind a walk on the lead in the rain, but when she's off the lead, she's not content on her bed on the patio and wants to be inside. I do mind the walk in the rain. On the first walk of the day, I made the mistake of using only the umbrella, and I got soaked.
The photo above was not taken in the worst of the weather, which was yesterday, with rain, wind, lightning, and thunder, but you can see the puddles under the trees from the heavier rainfall. Earlier today, we had a downpour, and I decided to pass on church. With age come privileges of avoiding the drive in the rain and sloshing through puddles. The picture below shows the puddle around the flower bed near the front porch.
And just for fun, the dinosaurs in the neighborhood are pictured below. Who says humans and dinosaurs do not inhabit the earth together?
