Rain again

There seems to be more and more rain in our forecasts and actuality. The average rainfall for this region is forty inches a year. We have been getting two or three inches each day. There is serious flooding in many towns and states.
I think of the Southwest or the Sahel and realize that we are lucky. Fresh water is a blessing. Somewhere in the back of my mind is a quote about the blessings of water. It may have come from Lord Byron but I am not sure. The source will come to me hours from now. My long term memory is getting very loooong.
The spider in the water spout is wearing a life jacket. The tomatoes are starting to crack.
