I did my level best throughout the day to perform a rain dance.
while Donnie and Scarlet stood out in the rain.
Silly ponies!

Rain Dance
With gardens that needed watering,
I geared up (yesterday) for what was to be a rainy day.
You might remember that I planned to use the rainy day as a day in my garden...
weeding.
However, the day proved sunny, hot and humid.
And dance as I did...no rain appeared on the horizon.
So, I weeded the garden in the sun...
moist from sweat instead of rain!
Then, later in the afternoon, when I had all but given up on the rain...
I headed out in the gator to the barn to do some chores.
I looked over my shoulder and this is what I saw behind the house...
rain clouds!
I stopped by the rooster coop to check on the boys...
A sure sign that rain was coming...the boys had retired early.

No sooner had I gotten to the barn when the skies opened up... rain...glorious rain!
Ivanka ducked under a lawn chair for protection from the raindrops.

Moonbeam and the Littles sought shelter beneath the barn roof,
Silly ponies!
And then CRASH, Boom...and a torrential downpour ensued.
It rained so hard that even the ponies sought shelter.
And Ivanka headed for the barn.
And Ivanka headed for the barn.
As for me, I ran back to the gator and drove to the safety of the house
to enjoy the storm from the front porch.
The good news is...
I can take watering the gardens off of my list of chores for today.
And if you by any chance need rain in your part of the world...
I will do a little rain dance for you, too!
Apparently it works!
