Rainy Days

Today is Thursday and it has been raining here for three days. Flash flood watches in effect til this evening. I'm really not complaining. I love the rain and also the fact that it is not 27 degrees outside. B-r-r-r-r-!!! It has warmed up nicely and was 60 degrees on my front porch this morning. Have not worn a coat for two days. My problem with this is - why couldn't we have gotten some of this back in the growing season when we needed it. Things didn't grow very well this year in the garden. The grass turned brown and some of the trees lost their leaves before fall. Although, we did have a beautiful fall ( late of course, but beautiful just the same). Today I am thankful for the rain, which we still need very much.
