I can't believe it's raining! Thank you, Don*! I really didn't believe any moisture would make it this far north in Texas. I'd like to be out in it, dancing, glorifying, but there's this dog sitting on my foot.
We were out on the porch and I was noticing some small, but puffy, gray clouds floating around, when CRACK! THUNDER suddenly boomed and even rolled a little. It's been so long, the dogs have forgotten. Frankie and Harley hurried from their respective spots in separate yards to where I sat in my chair by the connecting gate, and Chelsea... Well, Chelsea actually tried to climb up in my lap! She's a little too big for that now. She was almost too big the last time she did it, frightened by fireworks on the Fourth of July three years ago as a six month old grown pup.
Now it's over. I'm so wishing for more, and more, and more to soak into this dry, dusty yard of mine.
Chelsea still hovers, licking my feet, pawing my leg, lying against my foot - any and all reassuring contact with Mom.
I'm about to disappoint her. I'm going back out and try and attract some more. A rain dance, perhaps.
*Tropical Storm Don, now giving some relief to parts of south Texas and Mexico.
