15 Minutes of Pure JOY

When for the last month, your very sunny forecast looks like this:

How can you sit inside when an actual RAIN hits the house? You can't :)

Sadly, it took longer to clean up then the actual storm. But it was worth it!

Anonymous said...: Oh, what a wonderful, joyful picture!

It reminds me of how we all acted years ago at my brother's wedding reception. A months-long drought was ongoing, it was 102+ outside, but it started to rain. Soon a couple of us had gone out in the rain, party frocks and all, and pretty soon almost the entire wedding party was out in it, just so thankful to see it and feel it, despite the heat, the mess, the mud.

That was my first thought on seeing your delightful picture! Thanks for posting it!
