"For the ground that drinks the rain which often falls on it and brings forth vegetation useful to those for whose sake it is also tilled, receives a blessing from God." -Hebrews 6:7
The rain assault has begun. It seems to arrive sooner than previous years, On the first day, we were all surprised and unprepared. The thunder and lightening was tremendous. The students stood under the overhang for while and watched nature's wrath. It didn't take long before one of my 2nd graders decided to run out an play in the rain.
And it only takes one. Before long, most of the students were splashing around, getting totally drenched, and having the best time.
The boys played soccer, and it was just one of those unexpected, joyful things that made everyone decided that, for one reason or another, the last class of the day would be cancelled. I think it was just such a big turning point in the year, that we all just wanted to watch the rain fall and enjoy the water after a long dry season.
After the students left, I went outside in a tank top and panties and ran around too. I wonder if that's the first time this has happened on campus.
