Rain, Rain........Go Away?????

I got up at 5:45 this morning and it was raining again, still is raining, in fact. So, my pretty, pretty porches ain't happening today. And the dude who is painting the trim on the outside of our current home will not be working today, either. And that's all fine, really. No, really it is. I think the part that is scary is not knowing how long this will go on. One day of rain can delay construction alot longer than one day, something I never knew before. And certainly, a small delay on our new house is no concern compared to some of these construction guys who aren't working, therefore aren't getting paid. I understand all that, I am really not that selfish. No, I am not.

Actually, I probably am but I'll never admit it. I am not admitting selfishness, I will admit greed.



No, seriously. Until we moved to Stephenville I thought of rain as just another weather option God had. After being here for 6 years, rain is like God is throwing money down from the sky. It really affects the economy that much. At Selden we prayed for rain every Sunday, or we thanked God for the rain that week. Every single Sunday. Once the preacher stopped during his sermon and said "Is that rain?" Not even kidding. Rain is good. So, even though my pretty porches won't be poured today, my hair will look like I stuck my finger in a light socket a few times, and I cannot breath yet again thanks to my allergies which just LOVE all this rain- this rain is a blessing.



Since I am not about to take my camera out into the rain and mud to get a picture of our concrete, I thought I would share one of Caroline. I took this a while ago, on a day we had taken her braids out and she wanted to wear it "frizzy" I feel old now because I am fondly remembering my pink crimping iron and the hideous things it did to my hair. Ah, the 80's. Good times.
