Saturday and Sunday it rained like a jungle monsoon...dark bellied clouds streamed across the horizon, dumping heavy showers with thunderous claps laced with brilliant bolts of lightening. In two days we measured over 5" of rain...a real "frog strangler" as they call it down here. Then, as all good stories end...the sun came out, brilliant blue skies replaced the battle ship gray clouds and everything seemed to explode into color. The grass turned a verdant green, the flowers burst into their rainbow of colors and God's glory could be seen everywhere!
Yesterday and today my wife and I had lunch on the back deck, binoculars in hand, watching all the birds enjoy this weather...blue birds, cardinals, finches, and the ducks flying up and down the cove. Soon the ducks will show up with their young, we had two families last year. It was a great pleasure to watch them grow. We spent many an evening down on the dock tossing little morsel to the babies and watching them scurry around...mama always keeping a watchful eye on her babies, and I suspect us.
