It is RAINING!

The rumbling of thunder started while I was still at work today. Then came the announcement- "Wow it is pouring outside!" At first, the hungry ground sucked the rain in, gulping for the sustenance that had been missing for weeks! When I pulled into the driveway, the first thing I saw was how emerald green the grass had become after a few hours of rain. The cows were munching happily at the fresh greens. The next thing I saw were two muddy, hair awry dogs. Any guilt that I felt over leaving them outside faded immediately as I watched them jump and play together. Any normal girl coming home after a long day, still in work clothes would have dragged them inside, dried them off and scolded them for not having the sense to stay on the massive covered porch. But I am not normal, at least not when it rains. I joined the running, playing and chasing until we were three muddy figures splashing in the dark.

After dinner, two warm baths, a shower and fending off the disgusted looks of six cats (two outside with me, and four through the window), I am more than ready to lay in bed and let the rain lull me off to sleep!
