Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain!

Finally! It rained!

We’ve been waiting and waiting for rain for the last six weeks and today it poured down, filling buckets and barrels full of water, pouring under the doors of the house, flooding the floors, coming in the openings around the windows, dripping down the walls and then flooding the floor.  The upstairs hallway filled with water but not so much that it flowed into the bedrooms.  The kids all swept water, mopped water, and collected water in buckets.  We desperately need rain for the gardens.   This downpour lasted for only about half an hour, not nearly long enough for the farmer crops.

The farmers need a tropical storm to water their crops sufficiently, but then, tropical storms in Haiti add a whole other problem.   I can hardly imagine what would happen in the Presbytery/ Children’s Home during a tropical storm.  I think that the entire house will be flooded. 

                                                  And when the rain stopped, we danced!
