Weather Wonders

The Texas Gulf Coast is well known for its heat, humidity, and mosquitoes but the past two week have been some kind of weather miracle. We have had 2 weeks now of low humidity, cool nights, and warm, sunny days. Amazing. (We do still have mosquitoes though...life is seldom perfect...)

Rain! Glorious rain!!

It is raining--a for real, coming down in buckets, rain. Our parched earth is just soaking it up and you can just feel the plants take in that cooling, life restoring liquid and smell their exhalation of thanks. And for the first time since the end of April, the temperature didn't go over 90 degrees today. JMM and I sat on the back porch and watched and listened. Glorious rain!!
