Praying for Rain

Many aspects of our lives we base on expecting the weather to act a certain way. There are averages for everything that effect what you wear, outdoor activities, and how things grow. Being in the agriculture industry the weather is a daily factor in my routine. May and June are typically some of the most actively growing months of the year for turf under normal weather conditions. However, for the past month it has been extremely dry meaning the turf is not growing. Even turf that is irrigated doesn't seem to grow quite as well as that from rainfall. Turf that is not irrigated has reverted back into a state of dormancy, meaning it doesn't need to be maintained by me. Its feeling like a winter work schedule with some of the frequency I'm doing things. There are no restrictions on watering yet, but we are early in the summer. Fortunately, less time at my job means I can help Rebecca more with her business. Coming through he busiest month, there is plenty to do with her photography.


I know the rain will come and the Lord will provide.

"He covers the sky with clouds; he supplies the earth with rain and makes grass grow on the hills." -Psalms 147:8
