I may have mentioned that we are having one of the hottest, driest summers on record. Our governor even asked the citizens of our state to pray for rain. Pray to whomever you believe in or mentally visualize or do rain dances - whatever you do, please ask for rain. We have joined the prayer brigade and have added our pleas for water to come our way.
Many places in the state have finally had some storms come, some so heavily that floods and damage have happened, but SLC has not had much of the hoped-for deluge yet. We did finally get one really great rainstorm in mid-July. I'll always remember the way the thunder began to roll and actually never really stopped. It just rumbled and rumbled without much of a break for a good 45 minutes. We started out by getting some of those big fat drops and before long it was pouring rain.
Oh what heaven that rain was! We needed every drop and we just stood on the back porch watching it come down.
Sadly, that was the only rainstorm we have had so far. There are some clouds in the forecast and I am crossing my fingers and saying my prayers that we get absolutely soaked this weekend.
