Yay!! RAIN, finally!!

[Mare]

Central California has had NO rain for many, many weeks. This drought has been concerning many folk. It started to rain last night then into the morning and kept up most of the day :) Hallelujah! It's not even a drop in the bucket of what we need but hoping the corridor is opening for more to move in, come on Universe, help us out!

[Honesty]

Mare, I would gladly send you some of our rain if I could :) We have had nonstop gales and torrential downpours since October. Many places are flooded over here!

I will keep my fingers crossed on you getting more :)

[Mare]

Thanks, Wendy! If there was a way, we would surely accept it!

[Honesty]

Thanks, Wendy! If there was a way, we would surely accept it!I will try a bit of mental telepathy for you :)

I saw your rain one weather report. Praying for much more. Does Amigo like to be out in the rain?

[Maddy]

That's great, Mare! I hope you get more!

[Mare]

Dianne, Amigo was MADE for rain! I like to let him loose in it, if it's not freezing rain. He knows when the rainy weather is coming, though, he won't come in when I call, he waits for it! To him, this is a blissful shower day and he will flip around to get EVERY part of himself wet!

Oh how fun. Any pics of his rain playing?

Its great to watch them In the rain I have a few videos of the blacks playing in the rain. Mare it mite be time for a rain dance, as a young kid working as a landscaper ,my other work mates would get me to do rain dances just to get out of work.i always made it rain with my dance,which my grandfather tort me.as he was cherokee indian,and as a kid I even spoke the language and sang songs.the only thing is no one tort me so no one knows how I learnt.

[Mare]

Steve, it's funny that you mention this. My daughter and friend were talking about getting folks together, to do a rain dance! We also have Native American Indian background, maybe it would just come natural!

[coltfire]

My mother for years ,tried to find out who or how I learnt the language. There was a song I used to sing about the spirits of the fire,mum said it was such a beautiful song and I sung it in Cherokee ,but to this day I cant remember it I was only 4 at the time and everyone says I was never tort it it was just something that came natural to me.i get told off for going off at people In Cherokee but I dont relize im am until I get told speak english lol

[Mare]

Wow, were you adopted, Steve?

The reason I ask is that my father was adopted from an Indian reservation in Oklahoma in 1925. He has no recollection because he was too young but I just thought that you might know your heritage.

I will gladly give you all of the rain and bitter cold we've been having this last month

[Mare]

Hi, George! Does it really get bitter cold in Florida? For us, here in Cali, we would love the rain and bitter cold! That would mean snow in the mountains then snow melt into our reservoirs, this equals..water for our crops, pasture for the horses. Bring it!

Glad you finally got some rain Mare. We got the 2 inches of snow early this morning they promised us. That is NOT going to do one bit of good for our drought. :(

Steve funny you mention rain dancing and getting it to rain. Way back in 1985 my sister and I were trying to grow a garden and it was such a dry summer the gypsum water which is what the mineral most of our ground water has in it was not doing them veggies any good. So beings she has Native American on her Dad's side and I have on my Dad's side (we have different Dads not related) she & I decided to do a rain dance. I have always piddled in the making of bead work, leather work, and had lots of books on Native Culture. So I put my suede shawl & moccasins I had made on and other Native items I had. My sister borrowed some things & we went outside & danced & chanted like we had good sense. Sharon (my sister) went home & I went in my house. Later in the middle of the night a really bad wind storm blew through, it was one of those they call a Micro Wind. Not the same as a tornado, these are a straight force wind of tornado magnitude without any twisting. It blew my bedroom window inward at the top 3 inches from the wall and it blew her roof she had recently built over her trailer house completely off. We decided that we must have angered the ancestors or did the wrong dance & vowed never to try that again. We figured we might not live over the next dance!

Steve. My mother is half Cherokee Indian. She was adopted when her mother died at the age of 26. She said her grand father was a red headed Cherokee. I think in Oklahoma on a reservation near a mountain? I think it's great you can speak the language and keep your culture alive.
