\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Woke up this morning to Mother Nature having a field day in raining, and knocking the proliferation of pollen into the gutter and down the drain.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hard to see in these photos, but the old lady is really having a go at it. We’ll end up somewhere between 1\/4 of an inch and 5 inches today, depending on which weather forecaster you listen to. I’m hedging my bets in the 1-2″ range. We need it. The weather has been hot and dry.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Of course, I’d be more happy if we didn’t get it in a 5 minute period, but over the course of the day, so it has a chance to sink in, allowing every plant, tree, and shrub the ability to drink their fill.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As the rain bubbles and dances its way down the gutter, along the curb, there are patches that are heavy yellow with pollen. For the moment, adios allergies.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Very little wind associated with this, however. I was hoping to hear the windchimes in their tonal song, but it’s not meant to be.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After all the blue skies of recent, I must admit that Mother Nature does look good in grey.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

But there is such a thing as too much. Quit showing off.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I was fortunate. The rain let up just long enough to grab a few shots and then back up on the porch I went.<\/p>\n

Just remember\u00a0 “Hey now, what we had is gone…But I still remember you. Just like a rose after the rain, Something beautiful remains.” (“Something Beautiful Remains”, Tina Turner<\/em>)<\/p>\n
