Let there be RAIN

As most anyone on the High Plains knows, we have been living in a drought,  a huge, far reaching Dust Bowl equivalent drought.  Last night the good Lord smiled upon us and dropped just shy of two inches on our dry land. 
The storm howled in, a line of dirt proceeding it, to slam us with dirt and destructive winds and, most importantly, rain.
It takes very little rain to bring the green back, as these picture show!
this is my pasture prior to last night



It was trying!



Leading edge of storm


The dirt proceeds the rain
A girl and her horse


I rode, too!

Convincing Jake it wouldn't hurt him

Puddle happiness
Playing in the puddles
 
 
We are hoping for more rain tonight, and I don't think anyone, horses included, are complaining!
Not all of the plant growth is horse edible, but as you can see in the last picture, Belle found something worth nibbling!
Thank you, Lord, for this glorious rain!~
 
 
And how was your day?
