Sweet Waters
~
rain pours from the sky
sweet waters flood the land
rivers sing with joy
~
After a long hot and dry spell, clouds swelled, the skies opened and rain poured over our area yesterday. Thankfully, the rivers are flowing, the flowers are perky and the grass is green again. It’s amazing how a little water brings so much life. Yay!
May sweet waters dance on your land and rivers!
writing to freedom

It’s really wonderful what rain is doing. We got enough rain and so everything is green even in the summer. But now it’s quite hot here. Hope you’re fine, Brad, regards Mitza

You’ve captured the feeling I have whenever a rainstorm comes my way ~ it really is sweet water from the sky, making everything possible. Living in Eastern Oregon as a young kid, high desert, it perhaps made me appreciate the rain that much more – so yes, a little water can bring so much life (and happiness). Cheers to a great rest of the summer for you Brad, it seems you are enjoying the time that has already passed.

Beautiful picture…we are starting to get the summer monsoons down here (a little late this year)…even in a desert you can see the plants perk up after a heavy rain…thanks for sharing!

Thanks Kirt. I didn’t know the desert had heavy rains in the summer. I thought it was winter that you receive the most rain?

A common misconception….Phoenix gets the majority of its annual rainfall in the summer with the monsoon storms. The west coast receives most of their rain in the winter and usually don’t get much from the monsoons. The storms build rapidly and the usually down pours ensue….we had them in Denver also when we lived there. Thanks for stopping by Brad!!
