We're in a severe drought where I live, Andrea, and every bit of rain that we get is so helpful. I know in some places it is worse than us and, in some places, they have been getting too much rain. Of course, I enjoy nature, but I am not able to really enjoy it like I once did because of my age and health. Since you are having health issues, I know you understand. Sara K

Yes, it is true that the rain does so much for us, and we should be thankful. I appreciate the visit, Frank. I am glad you enjoyed it. Sara K

Dear Sara, the phrase "air washed" really sticks, that specific, clinical clean that happens right after a downpour. A great observation on how the environment can suddenly offer a total reset without asking for anything in return. Amen, our Lord at work. Blessings, Daniel
