Rain


"Rain rain go away, come again some other day."

A simple little poem that can be traced back to the early 17th century and comes in a variety of forms.
Here in the desert, this is kind of a phenomenon but we have been blessed with quite a bit of it since the first of the year - probably more than we had all of last year!
We have turned our grass water on only once since January so it has been a real treat.
But sometimes people get grumpy around here because it keeps coming. However, I am happy this isn't the Sahara desert and we are able to enjoy it as an EVENT!


I prefer the poem to say,

"Rain rain don't go away, coming again often I pray."

However, for those who suffer, allergy season may not be so fun this year...

Love the rain too. Haven't had our irrigation on either.
