Rain

Well, it's raining again.  I'm not sure why I said again, since we really have had a couple of beautiful, sunny days, but when it rains around here this 'spring' (it's technically not spring yet, but it kinda feels like it),  it really rains!  Since all the snow isn't yet melted, the rain just sits on the semi-frozen ground in ugly grey puddles.  It's not the warm run-and-splash-in-the-puddles-summer rain, but the cold-let's-get-out-of-it-as-fast-as-we-can-winter rain.  Yuk!

It tends to make you want to just crawl back in bed and stay there for a week.  Well, maybe not a week, but at least for the day.  I'm so un-motivated today.  I've got lots of things that I should get done, but I don't feel like doing any of them right now.  Thus, I'm here, writing to nobody about nothing.  Funny, huh.

There is a good side to this rain, if you really think about it.  Being early March, it could be snow and it isn't.  And, it makes  you think that maybe, just maybe, Spring isn't that far away?  I've lived in other parts of the country where there really isn't much Winter and I missed the four seasons.  Even tho Spring and Fall are really short here, I still love them both and am glad that God has designed His earth with such spendor.  And amazement.  Can you imagine - we live on a planet that circles the sun at exactly the right speed, and rotates on it's own axis at exactly the right angle to give us seasons, and days, and nights, and heat, and snow, and rain.  God really is quite the master artisan, isn't He?
