Pummeling of Rain

The spring rains came with a vengeance this week. The tulips bent down.

The door mat was getting scrubbed.

The gutters that we thought to be cleaned out - overflowed during the heaviest of downpours. I caught some splashes into the puddle beside our garage before it drained away.

There was a small branch from the oak tree that had been torn way from the tree and blown onto the front doorstep.

It was the biggest rain of the year to date for our area. After I returned home from being out in it, I celebrated the safety of being home!  And I will celebrate the rapid greening that will come with the moisture and warmer temperatures. It’s the way of spring.
