Thank God for Rain

Thank God for Rain
Well, we were blessed with rain a couple of weeks ago after suffering severe drought for several years. We got in excess of 4 inches in 36 hours here at our home northeast of Dexter. We live just a mile east of the Pecos River, which rarely has more than a trickle of water in it, so to call it a river is somewhat comical. However, after all the accumulated rain that eastern New Mexico received in such a short period of time the Pecos overflowed its banks and flood waters covered much of our gravel road by 2 feet in some places. 

We are dryed out now with the exception of a few ponds that were never there before. It is amazing to me how quickly weeds can grow. I had to get out this morning to cut weeds that had sprung up over night it seems. 

This bracelet made of copper reminds me of the drought and how bad we needed the rain. There is always beauty in everything we see, we just have to look for it!
