oh the SWEET sound of rain!!

I didn't think I would EVER say that!! Living in England could be really gloomy and there were times that I desperately wanted the rain to stop!!

But I have found myself hoping and praying for rain the last couple weeks.

You see, we planted grass seed a month ago and it has been such a SLOW process. I was beginning to worry that the hours to aerate the lawn, then seed it, all the watering and the $160 worth of grass seeds were a waste. But we are finally seeing little green blades of young Bermuda Grass! And we are thrilled!

You have to keep those seeds moist or they die! So, the last month we have been making sure the ground is always moist. Having to move the sprinkler all over the yard was getting really old! So, we bought Brian a "Rain Train" traveling sprinkler as an early Father's Day gift! It has been fantastic!

But my favorite watering is when the Lord waters the grass for us!! As I am getting ready to climb into bed I hear the sweet sound of rain and the thunder rolling in!
