Making It Rain--Part 1

This is how we make it rain in the desert—the first steps, anyway.

Irrigation is a long, involved process, but the first stage is always the hardest: loading the pipe from their stacks onto the flatbed, unloading them alongside their various fields, putting them together.

The tedium was interrupted by a certain little striped presence, a heretofore resident of a pipe stack, which trotted here and there, back and forth. Fortunately, only the pickup was sprayed!

Sow for yourselves righteousness;
    reap steadfast love;
    break up your fallow ground,
for it is the time to seek the Lord,
    that he may come and rain righteousness upon you. –HOSEA 10:12 (ESV)
