EDITORIAL: Rain!

ORIGINALLY WRITTEN
It took us a while to figure out what that water was falling from the sky Sunday and much of Monday. We took the word of some trusted friends that it was in fact rain. Real, honest-to-goodness rain.

It’s been a while since we’ve seen it in any concentrated form.

Some folks in our area report about an inch of the wet stuff all together, though we haven’t seen an official report. We know this moisture is a nice start, but more is needed if this drought is to be broken and farmers can look forward to a better year ahead.

Still, we are grateful for this gift. It will freshen the landscape into the spring green we’ve been looking for. No doubt it will freshen our spirits, too, as we thank the Creator for some answered prayers. -DR
