Watering for Rain

It had been a dry winter. Not a lot of rain, so Daddy rented a sprinkler system to make sure the ground wouldn’t be bone dry by the time it came to planting. About a week after he was done the rains came. Buckets of it; almost two inches in as many days, with thunder, lightning and hail. 


Daddy said he was feelin’ real good until it rained; He says it shows God’s got a sense of humor. He was able to laugh as he said it. We got off lucky. The almond farmers weren’t so lucky. Some got hit real bad, depending on where the thunderstorms stuck.

There ain't nothin' anyone could do, but wait, pray and see what's gonna happen next.
