Rain, rain, rain

The rain rain rain came down down down

In rushing, rising riv'lets,

'Til the river crept out of it's bed

And crept right into Piglet's!

Poor Piglet, he was frightened,

With quite a rightful fright.

And so, in desperation

A message he did write.

He placed it in a bottle

And it floated out of sight.

And the rain rain rain came down down down

So Piglet started bailing.

He was unaware, atop his chair,

While bailing he was sailing!

And the rain rain rain came down down down

And the flood rose up up upper.

Pooh, too, was caught and so he thought,

"I must rescue my supper!"

Ten honey pots he rescued,

Enough to see him through,

But as he sopped up his supper,

The river sopped up Pooh!

And the water twirled and tossed him

In a honey pot canoe!

The rain rain rain came down down down...

It has been a rainy summer. Not constant, just heavy, unexpected downpours, and a lot of them. Heavy enough to cause the water to creep out of the flower beds and down the driveway.

The day starts out quite like a summer day. And then the skies darken. It becomes very still and we wait. Then is comes. The skies just open up and it pours down.

The gardens overflow.

There has been a great deal of thunder and lightening too.

Some are asking when the heat of summer will finally come and stay....but it will be August tomorrow and then September. That means fall and then, dare I say it? winter....

I asked the Lord for the cleansing rains this spring. I guess He is still cleaning. And there is a lot of cleaning that needs to be done. Thank you Lord for the rain. The sweet smelling, cleansing rain. and the rain, rain, rain came down, down, down
