Cleansing Rain!

Finally the rains have come to our dry land. We have waited so long to see rain again. We'd almost forgotten what it looked like, felt like, smelt like. It amazes me that we have no water restrictions or shortages here. We have become so accustom to not carrying an umbrella or even thinking of rescheduling events due to them being rained out. It's always sunny here, if we hung clothes out on a line, does anyone do that anymore? we wouldn't have to bring it in. You get the point, it doesn't rain much here. It has become so hot and dry here lately that the rain was welcomed with open arms. It was almost as if we were a boiling pot and we finally came to a boil and we taken off the burner to cool down when the rain came. Coming from Florida (uhhh not the "Sunshine State" really) I love the fact that we don't see rain here everyday at 4:00 like clockwork.
My daughter and I prayed for rain yesterday. We first heard the rain in Circuit City while shopping, unfamiliar with the sound of rain pounding on the roof, we questioned what we were hearing. Upon investigation we came to find out it was in fact the rain. Now what do we do? it was check out time. The gallant King and Prince went to get our truck for us, since we were totally unprepared. As we climbed in, the rain stopped long enough for the Queen and Princess to enter their coach then it came again full force.
