The Storm

We have really been praying for rain

around here.

It seemed like everyone else

was getting rain but us.

One night last week we got a couple drops of rain

and a mile away got 3/10 of an inch.

It was getting very frustrating.

Sam kept saying if we soon didn't get

rain we wouldn't have much corn this year.

So last night I saw there was rain

on the radar but just assumed

it would miss us like it has been doing.

I was out doing my barn work and the clouds were

getting darker and I was praying as I fed the cows.

We got a few drops and I thought is this it.

When I went to water the chickens I looked up towards

Mom & Dad's house and you could just see the rain

coming across the meadow.

Thank You Lord for the rain!!!!!

It got very windy,

a tree fell on Mom & Dad's house.

The plastic on the greenhouse ripped off,

one of the willow trees up rooted,

two trees by the pig pen came down.

Thankfully not on the pigs.

The sweet corn blew over

and one of our fields of corn looks pretty bad.

After all of that we are still glad for the rain.
