Our Spring . . .

  Rain

This is the view through just about any window in the Northwest this spring. And pretty much all you'll hear about it is this: "Well, that's why it's so green around here." Uh-huh. Well, as for me and my house, it would be green anyway without quite so much moisture. Sigh. Ready for summer!

 

Father, and yet thank you for the rain which you cause to fall on the righteous and the unrighteous – rain being a great thing in the desert. You made this place where we live beautiful, and I know part of that comes from the rain. Thank you for the beauty of every season. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.

    It will eventually pass. I thought warm weather was never going to come but I think we’ve finally seen the last of winter here. We did get a good amount of rain (for the Sonoran Desert) this year and it resulted in some fantastic wildflowers.
    And the great thing about that is that even though the wildflowers are burning up now, it’s now the turn of several cacti species to begin blooming so we don’t run out of flowers.

    Yes, it will, but we often have wet summers too. I hope we don’t this year. It’s not like this is atypical of our springs. Nope. This is spring in the Greater Seattle area. It is what it is. Born and raised here and am tired of the rain day after day, but it’s “why we’re so green” around here year round – and that part I love.
    We had some early rhododendrons bloom and some bluebells are up. Crocuses, daffodils and tulips are coming soon.
