The Lord has blessed us with so much each and every day. The photos you shared really brought to life your thankful list. <br /><br />It's amazing what rain does to the whole of life during those times of drought (I remember how bad things looked around here during those drought times, for example 1988). Timely rain is something to be thankful for.<br /><br />Glad to hear you're continuing to recover.<br /><br />Blessings!Kim Jollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08670842504983601263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2756675007223295900.post-57936397155762299442017-06-09T11:16:45.662-04:002017-06-09T11:16:45.662-04:00I have heard about all the rain Florida has gotten...I have heard about all the rain Florida has gotten, I'm thankful it wasn't destructive, and that it has been productive, bringing out all kinds of flowers to bloom! A nice drive you had along Lake Kerr! I didn't realize you had surgery, and I'm so sorry to hear about it, but thankful you are on the mend! Having a sweet and precious husband to take care of you is such a blessing indeed :) It is always a day to be thankful, but I enjoyed your verses and reminders about just how blessed we are and to praise Him!

I am enjoying the flowers now that we are getting more rain. It had been so dry for so long everything was drying up and turning brown. Now it looks lush and green again!

Florida has been in quite a drought this past year, and we hadn't had any rain to speak of all spring...so we are very thankful for the rains that are now finally coming. Yes, hopefully we will get some kind of rain almost every afternoon during the summer months. The rain lilies are mostly a late spring/early summer event...they are wildflowers that just pop up in the strangest places! There are several in my yard, when it rains!Pamela M.

So the rain lilies might bloom more often or is it just from a heavy rain shower. High five to your husband for taking such good care of you!Nonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13020639587130083388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2756675007223295900.post-17101046844320690482017-06-08T12:56:03.601-04:002017-06-08T12:56:03.601-04:00Thank you Terra.

I guess they are technically a wildflower. Pamela M.
