10. Any remaining drought worries were washed away.
9. The family rhubarb supply is secure for several more weeks.
8. This morning’s wind provided a free tree trimming. (See photo above)
7. We discovered that barbecue baby back ribs are as delicious slow-baked in the oven as on the grill.
6. Morning rain on the roof feels so homey…especially when all your chicks are home and under that roof for the weekend.
5. Rainy days mean board games. Hooray!
4. No one wishes they were outside enjoying good weather rather than indoors sorting family pictures and documents according to plan.
3. A rainstorm is a good reason to drink another cup of coffee at Panera’s before going to put flowers on graves.
2. Rain-soaked earth makes pushing plastic flower stems in the dirt in front of family graves a very easy task.
1. The weather makes a person more thankful than ever for the soldiers who braved all sorts of weather to ensure freedom for the citizens of our country.
