Rain, Rain Go Away...

It has been pouring rain constantly since about 6 p.m. yesterday night. This morning when my Dad checked the rain gauge we had had four inches of rain in the night!! The rain hasn't let up either...

Interestingly enough, it did not always rain on this earth. In Genesis it talks about how there was a mist that came out of the ground:

Genesis 2:4-6
4These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,
 5And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.
 6But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.




I do not mind a rainy day though. Everyone stays inside to stay dry, usually you get something tasty for dinner like chili, and of course a wet day calls for something like tea, hot chocolate/coffee, or brownies!!! Yummy!!! If I had enough apples I would bake a pie... can you imagine the pleasant mood all of those spices would create?!!! Delightful! 

Nevertheless all this rain is not helpful for the farm. We started chopping the corn yesterday at around 1p.m. We hire our field work done and there were big tractors and equipment running until the rain hit. Now it looks as if we won't be able to finish chopping until sometime in the beginning of next week. 

Rain, rain go away... come again some other day.......

Wow! It is surprising that it rained that much by you! It hasn't rained here at all. In fact, it is 90 degrees here today!! Quite odd.. It amazes me how we can have such different weather only 4 hours away.

I really like your post. I wonder what it would have been like to see the mist coming up from the ground! It must have been a site, I'm sure.

Mm.. rainy days are relaxing. :) It almost gives you an excuse to do a lot or to do a little. hehe.

I hope you get that corn chopped down soon! Maybe the rain will go away sooner than you expect. :) Hopefully!
