Rain

Rain, Rain go away and come back another day. Yes, we sang that as children and I find myself singing that again. A couple nights ago, the weather gal said we had just under 12 inches of rain for the months of March, April and May. Doesn't the weather person in the sky know - we live in a desert? The really sad part of all of this is the flooding that is going on all over Northern Utah. Homes that have become flooded and farms that are flooded. These provide for the animals but for humans also. But what about our fresh corn, beans, tomatoes, squash, you know the good things of summer? Everyone loses in this. But we aren't the only ones that are having a difficult spring. The tornadoes that have struck the mid west are so devastating. It seems when the news is on we hear about more and more destruction by Mother Nature. She is truly the "boss" and we are mere humans. Really makes us look at things in a different light. Are we prepared for what is ahead? I hope so! I worry about our children, grandchildren, brothers and their families, my Mom. We have our 72 hours kits ready and try to go through them twice a year but this usually happens only once a year. To change out medications and clothes and such. But we are trying.

On a happier note - the sun was out yesterday morning and it was a glorious sight! And the outside plants are really enjoying all of the cool wet weather. I guess the whole thought here is - we need to look at the good with the bad and realize we wouldn't appreciate the good without the bad.
