Just a rainy Monday here in the
Texas Hill Country.
wait just a sec...
what did I just say?
That's right.
For the first time in WEEKS,
we have RAIN!!!
I know that many of you in other areas are suffering through
non-stop rain and flooding,
but here in our part of the world, we've been battling the most severe
drought in over 40 years.
Not to mention devastating wildfires that have destroyed
over one million acres.
Yep.
It's raining, it's pouring.
And I'm smiling.
P.S.
all pics taken by my wonderful husband last year
with a simple point & shoot...
and NO photoshopping! Aren't they great?
Hi Anne, so glad your getting rain, we finally got some rain several days ago, but also had some terrible storms with it. It has also got very cold her, which is so strange for this time of year. Anne your pictures are just beautiful. Hope you have a lovely week!

ReplyDeleteHalleluja! Over our way (Blanco-Wimberley), not so much yet - a little drizzle last night, but hopes for more today. Glad the peach trees and farms are getting some much needed moisture, I need me some Fredsbg Peach cobbler this summer!

I was praying for it here but it never made it this far. The pond on the North forty is so low the fix are committing suicide.
ReplyDeleteGlad you got some honey

ReplyDeleteWe've about had it with rain here. Already had to dry the basement out once. No more, please! Wish we could send it your way. Good luck! Jan
ReplyDeleteI only wish we could send some rain to the areas in need. When it is dark like this, no rainbows are in sight. Your husband captured this one beautifully.

what a beautiful shot of the rainbow!! I soooooo much miss the hill country! we used to live in Boerne.
ReplyDeleteI am so tired of rain but happy for you that you have it...finally!~Hugs, Patti
ReplyDeleteRain north of Dallas too!
ReplyDeletegreat pics! rainbows always make me smile. We've been getting a ton of rain so I'm wishing for a bit of sunshine right about now. What a mixed up world!
ReplyDeleteSo nice to see sunshine for a minute or two!
ReplyDeleteCute, thoughtful and he takes great photos!
ReplyDeleteYou are one lucky girl!!
I am so glad you have rain! My son lives in Austin and they haven't had rain for the longest time. The wild fires are just awful! I would be so happy to send you some rain from Ohio. We are flooding in my area. Thank you God, I am fine.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy you are receiving much needed rain!
ReplyDeleteMr. Twig's photos are just beautiful!
...sheeesh. i should have checked with you and could have sent BUCKETS and BUCKETS of rain water. A great area of Michigan is flooded with the spring waters. it never fails to amaze me that some have drought while others have 'build the Ark' rain. we haven't had snow for 2 weeks, but rain took it's place. thankfully it WAS rain, or we would be up to our armpits in snow again. spring is elusive this year. i fear it will not come.
ReplyDeleteseriously, however, i am pleased you got your rain.
in fond regard, Tilda
I am so glad you are getting some of the rain today. We have some sunshine and in the 60's today, Yeah for both of us. It has rained here just about everyday and I think we are to get more this afternoon and temp to drop back down.
ReplyDeleteI just loved your husband's photos of the rainbow.
Have a blessed day.
Yep, that is all I have and sometimees it amazes me :)
ReplyDeleteI am happy for you to have some rain!
Susan
The rain was wonderful! We got some in the DFW area as well! Love the pictures your hubby took with point and shoot they are beautiful. Today was a very beautiful day!
ReplyDeleteSherry
The rain was truly a gift from God! I live outside of Fort Worth on the west side. We have been missing all the soaking rains, so I was very happy with the 2" we got over the weekend. My cows and garden are very happy too!
ReplyDeleteGreat post!
Oh my gosh, that rainbox is FABULOUS! And so glad for your rain that you needed. We've actually had 2 solid weeks of it here and everything is so green (but kind of soggy too). xo ~Lili
