Sunday Morning Rain


Early this Sunday morning before sunrise I awoke to the sound of
thunder.  To me it was a welcoming sound because shortly thereafter
the rains came and boy did they ever.  It poured so hard.  Just the
way I remember it used to rain in Houston.  



I got out of bed and made a pot of coffee.  Now the rain stopped 
coming down in sheets and it changed to a soft and lovely rain.
I took my coffee with me out onto the back porch to enjoy the
sound of the raindrops on the roof.  Such a sweet sound.  Raindrops
from the heavens.  For this I am so thankful because despite all of
the greenery you see, Victoria is 12 inches behind in rainfall.




I sat down in one of the wicker chairs and just savored each moment.
There is so much humidity that it was hard to snap a clear shot, but
I did not care.  It was as though nature was editing my photo with 
a soft haze.




Praise be to God for the rain.  It is much appreciated!
I hope y'all are having as wonderful start to your day as
I am.  Bentley too!

Big Texas Hugs,
Susan and Bentley

  3. We were promised rain but it hasn't happened. My family think I'm strange because I would rather be sitting outside when it's raining rather than sunny. I can imagine the freshness of the air after your downpour! Have a great week. Chel x

  5. These are beautiful photos, Susan! I am in love with your new home and pretty lawn. I'm thankful for you folks in Texas to be getting some rain; here in N.C. we've been waaaay over the normal rainfall (very unusual for us BTW).

    Thanks for your visit and kind comments on our new kitchen. Have a wonderful week!

  8. Happy Sunday Susan & Bentley - Hope some of that rain comes up here to Oklahoma. We're behind also in that category. Isn't it great to sit out and listen to the rain on the roof? Love that special time.

    Enjoy your day.

  18. How wonderful...I have almost forgotten what rain is. It is so hot and dry here and we too are in a drought. Lucky you! Please give Bentley a little pat from me.

  19. Lucky lucky! Our rain was supposed to start Friday... The forecast keeps changing, now it's supposed to start tomorrow, and finally get down into the seventies... I love your pictures, and your description of your morning! You made me want to wake up early and recreate it :)

  20. Nice to get a good rain shower to help everything stay green. We were in drought last year, but plentiful rains this spring and summer got us caught back up.
