Those April showers are here for sure this year. Wow we have had a few really crazy showers, even some hail. I remember the first time I saw hail. I was just 5 years old walking home from school and a piece of ice hit my head. I turned around and yelled who throw that ice at me. Then another piece hit me and I thought to myself this is crazy. Within a couple minutes the hail was coming down really fast and lots of it. Good thing I had my little metal lunch box, I put it over my head and started running for home. When I got there I yelled, Mom something really crazy is happening. She came running to the door and looked outside, oh honey that is just hail.
Well yesterday on our ride home from dropping off Mom's clean clothes, we had another rain and hail storm. This time I was in my car and we just couldn’t believe the storm. As we pulled up to the drive way I looked over at the ditch in my front yard, or shall I say little river. Kind of crazy but last week I put new dirt there to level the ditch and added seed to grow grass. Last week a storm came and there went all my new dirt down the road. Then I had a bright idea this past weekend, I will put sod down for instant grass. Well the night before we had a storm and kind of messed up the sod. I came home and straighten it out and leveled it out again. Well guess what with the river running down my yard, who knows where my sod is now. I guess this weekend I will try something else.
Some people will say they don’t like the rain, because it interferes with their plans. There was a time I would list all the great benefits of the rain and how wonderful it is, but they would just shut me out. Then I decided to just sing a rain song and they laugh. One of my favorites is rain drops are fallen on my head. Such a wonderful song and goes along with life. It could be rain or other events that seem to get in our way of life, but you can let them go. Just turn your event around and find a new way or options and focus on joy and love and all will be better.
Blessings to you and your family.
