Rain drops

Dear Diary,

Finally, a bit of rain; actually, a very little bit of rain.  It rained for all of 5 minutes.  Still, it is better than nothing...I'll take it.  It made me think of my ancestors who depended on the crops they grew to live.  I can still go to the store and buy what I need.  They went hungry.

When I first bought this house it had an old dug well which would sometimes go dry in extended periods of drought.  I now have a deep drilled well which never goes dry.  A blessing.  We take our access to clean, fresh water for granted.  So many in the world do not have it.

So, I am still praying for rain and there is none in sight.  Heating up   again too.  We can control a lot in our lives, the weather isn't one of them.
