Rain!!!

Yes! Yes! Yes!
It rained on us yesterday - at home and at work!
So exciting because we have been in the midst of a drought the likes of which I have not seen in Houston. Huge areas of parched, crispy golden brown grass everywhere when we should be swimming in lush green...
I once spent 6 weeks in Los Angeles at a music camp, rising to sunny skies and never seeing rain the entire time I was there. I so wanted to see the clouds roll in in the afternoon to create dark black thunderheads, to have those break out in a deluge, and then have the sun come back out to say, "OK! All done. Go mow your lawn." Never happened though. The winds would shift in the night and blow out some of the smog so the sky would be bluer the next morning, but never would we be blessed with the "afternoon instability" of a summer shower. Boring, boring, boring.
