Tears from Heaven

I woke up this morning to a lovely surprise - it was raining! And not just any rain, but heavy rain which has been ongoing for about an hour or more! I'm trying to remember the last time it rained so heavily, but I really can't. I think it has got to be more than 2 months since our last heavy rain fall. There have been smatterings of heavy rain here and there but none as persistent as this. I can only hope that this is the start of a REAL rainy season.
