Rain

Webster's Dictionary defines RAIN as:

water falling in drops condensed from vapor in the atmosphere.

I had to look up this definition, because its been so long since I've seen any rain that I almost forgot what it is.

Here in our small town, we haven't had  any rain since March.  The storms seem to pass right to the north of us or right to the south of us.  Leaving us with some of the lesser rain fall totals than most of the state.

This is a picture of my back yard and fruit trees.  It looks like something you'd see in the late fall.

And our gardening adventure has become a water pit.  It doesn't matter how much LB pours on, the heat is just too much.  We had to plow up most of it because it just wouldn't produce.  There's just a few things still hanging on.

This past Sunday, our Governor asked us to have a day of prayer for rain.  I am sending this out to you in hopes that we can turn our "Day of Prayer" into an every day event.  Our state is in a serous drought and heat wave. We need to pray that God would send us rain.
