It's raining here in Newnan Georgia. During most Springs of the past, I wouldn't give it a second thought. Spring is traditionally wet in our area, and Spring showers are part of the fabric of life here.
But last year was not a typical year. It did not rain much in the Spring, and even less in the summer, taking us into the worst drought we have experienced in a hundred years. The lakes were at an all-time low, and the news constantly reminded us that we only had about 45 days worth of water left.
Municipalities began quarreling over water, and water rights. Lawsuits were filed in many areas, seeking to force even more water releases from already nearly dry lakes. Everyone was desperate, and desperate times called for desperate measures, and water was on everyone's mind, all the time.
So as I sit here looking out my window at the deluge, I am smiling and content. It's a gift from God, and I, for one, am most grateful!

Coming from Arizona, we believe rain is good
Richard,
Glad the Lord is sending you the rain. It finally quit raining here an hour ago but I know it is headed your way. Hopefully the resevoir's will fill up, everglades will fill up and lawsuites over public waters being released downstream will "dry up".

I was caught in the rain on I-85, it was pretty bad and there were 2 serious accidents. Fortunately, I made it back to the office with only a minor dowsing.
Oh, BTW thanks for noticing the new footer. I always try to make my own graphics, and have done so for many years. I like to have something that no one else does! Thanks for commenting!
