Rain, rain, don’t run away. Come again another day!

With Mother’s Day fast approaching, I almost dread it the time of year. My mom was killed by her boyfriend when I was like 26, which is over 30 years ago, and it feels like it was just yesterday when I think about it.

Beautiful Olney! My return to town last week was a feast for my eyes. Green, green everywhere! That big rain really perked up the grass and trees. The closer I got to Olney; the scenery grew more vibrant with dozens of shades of that soothing color green. Lovely! Ponds are now full, so ranchers have heaved a sigh of relief; water hauling is now out of the picture. But other parts of our great state of Texas and many areas of the nation are suffering from a severe drought and the constant threat of wildfires. So, please put those areas on your prayer list and pray for rain!
