We live in a very strange area...maybe because of the hills? We have been in our house for 4 1/2 years and most of the rain, storms, showers seem to break up and go around us and then come together again when they head east of us...makes no sense!!! We never get the rainfall that most of the local areas receive. With that said, on Friday we got very dark skies to the east and south of us and I asked the girls to pray that we would get rain...that it would actually make it to our neighborhood...more specifically, our lawn ( we have seen it rain across the pond from us and we don't even get a drop!!!)
When Madeline was praying this is what I found on her Doodlepad :)
Praise God...it started...
...and kept coming...
I was sooo happy just to watch it pour, it has been so hot and DRY and we are on water restrictions now down to once a week. Not to mention our water bill with the size of our lot...yikes!
This storm brought high winds for us...those are our trash cans rolling around in the street!! The second house straight ahead had their gas grill blow over on their patio, their patio table into the back wall and the umbrella to the table was blown houses away from them!!! What a blessing to watch and to receive an answer to prayer!!!

You're lucky. We didn't get that rain. We're still waiting.
