There's something about the sound of rain on a metal roof - until you get used to it, it's almost scary. Sounds like a Hard Rain, even when it's not. Then when you realize it's not really storming, it sounds kind of comforting. At any rate, this rain today is WELCOME! Seems like a long time since the thirsty earth got such a cool drink of water. We can now look forward to some green-ness when the weather warms up. It sure is true what they say about Texas weather. Last week we had 90 degree days, everybody was in shirt sleeves, shorts, flip flops, like a heat wave had descended upon us. Plantin' tomatoes and flowers. But hey, it's still just barely March, and Winter is just playing hide and seek with us. No worries though, because Summer will step right over little old Spring and the Heat will prevail. Then we'll be whining and complaining, and praying for rain again.
