rain rain go away

We had over 8 inches of rain in the Montgomery, Alabama area in less than 30 minutes. It was really teaming hard, the skies were dark and low, nature was silent. We could only hear the wind whispering in the trees and could only see flower petals falling and flying in the breeze.
Tomorrow is here today and the sun raised slowly from the east. The birds welcomed his warmth chirping happily. Little lizards on the banister were breathing happy inflating their red goitre bubble (I am sure there is an anatomical name for the throat of the lizard but I do not know it), I just enjoy watching them breathing blowing that little red bubble under their throat. They are so cute.
The Azalea bushes have been stripped of their beautiful. colorful flowers, so have the Knock Out roses. But nature heals itself fast and new buds will bloom again. Nest blooms will be the Crepe Myrtle trees and the little baby roses surrounding their trunks. I feel blessed to be able to see and admire the wonderful nature around me, even though I could do without the myriads of ants making new beds over the property. I guess ants have a right to life as well and they serve a purpose in nature, even though I cannot imagine what it would be.
