The rain we've been getting lately has been so unbelievable. It's hard to see in this photo but the rain was coming down hard yesterday while we watched from the living room. Poor doggy wanted to be outside.
The rain poured down so fast and flooded the yard. Not only did we have a mess on the outside but we also had water come into the basement too. My poor husband spent the evening sucking it up while having trouble keeping up. Other neighbors have been having the same issue. It's frustrating.
But as the rain kept coming I kept thinking about those poor people in Texas. This last week has been difficult for them. So many lives lost in the flood, including innocent girls who were attending a church camp called Camp Mystic. I cannot imagine the grief their families are going through or the pain of what the survivors are going to be mentally dealing with from now on. My heart aches for them. My prayers are with you, Texas.
We also had a special visitor yesterday morning from the same living room window. This is a cicada. They look like large flies and make sounds quite similar to crickets but much louder. My kids laughed when they saw this thing looking in on us. He/she stayed for quite awhile.
I hope you are having a fantastic week. Can you believe tomorrow is Friday already? July is 10 days in and I'm already seeing back to school stuff in the stores and school emails have started coming in. Please let us just savor these summer days.
I have never seen a cicada - we don’t have them here.
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel about the Texas tragedy. It hurts my heart to think of people suffering and grieving.
Well we won’t have rain here till October.
