Hunker Down...

First of all... Happy first day of Autumn...

The good Lord has blessed us with rain today.

I loved waking up to the sounds of the pitter patter of the rain drops this morning.

The room is dark and it feels like one of those hunker down days.

You know, where all you want to do is get a comfy blanket and a cup of hot chocolate and read all day long.

But...

That is not to happen of course.

There are children to dress and feed.

Lessons must be done.

Life must go on...

Even on the days when I just want to hunker down and enjoy the rain...

dancing in the rain...

In a dry land, like where we live, any rain is an excuse to run outside and use the umbrella.

Freezing, cold rain...

...but

there was no stopping them.

Oh Yeah!!

Yes, I fried chicken!

And...it turned out amazing!

The rain came today...

Hip, hip, hooray!

Shucking corn in the rain...
Oh, my brother, can you see that my plants are turning pink?

This is always the first sign of fall approaching.

Soon, they will be bright red...Amazing.

nectar of heaven...

You're being silly, you say? Why would you take a boring picture of the deck and patio?

Why? You are looking at the nectar of heaven, my friends। That's right... rain!

I believe it rained for a grand total of twelve minutes। Now, our version of rain is not a steady downpour.

No, No। Our version of rain is delicate drops sprinkling their way to the earth.

Heavy Sigh।

At least it smelled good।

Thank you, heaven, for sending the rain।

I needed it... Can you tell?
