Wordless Wednesdays: Two Inches of Rain in Half an Hour

I know this is supposed to be Wordless Wednesday but I just had to tell you about this picture.

This morning about 11:30, the sky opened up and we got two inches of rain in half an hour! Our rose bed was deep in rain. The playa is full and everything is so green! What a strange site for Nazareth!

Rainy Days & Nights in Texas Panhandle

We have been suffering from the worst drought of the past 100 years. Our land has been so dry and weary. But suddenly, our weather fortunes have changed–for the past five days, we have experienced thunderstorms, lightning and RAIN! Thus far, Casa La Entereza has received over five inches of rain..what a gift to our land and our spirits! The following photos show rain water rushing into a culvert, surrounding our labryinth, filling our rain water tanks and collecting in a ditch on its way to our playa ( which is almost half-filled with water).
