I was at a little get together this evening when the skies opened up.   Everyone was as happy as could be that it was finally raining.  

It did not 'dampen' any spirits at all...in fact, just the opposite.  

Why was everyone so happy to have the rain?  

Well,....... these are horsepeople...

and they need the rain 

                                                                 ... to grow the hay

 ... to feed the horses!    

Oh, and the horses were enjoying the rain, too - they were running around all excited in their paddocks.   Playing in the rain like children :)

Hope you had a chance to get to the river to see the fireworks.  It was a great fireworks show :)     The food wasn't bad, either, haha.

Good night - and Happy Fourth of July.
