It being spring, hopefully where you live you're getting rain now, instead of snow. Spring rains can be a welcome thing, whether to start your garden, water in a farmer's crop, or rinse away the cigarette butts and dog poo from city sidewalks. That burst of sun after a spring shower brings out both songbirds and smiles. But, like all good things, we need to be careful what we wish for. Sometimes we get too much rain. 

Your topic is rain, but more than expected.  Due next Friday, April 5th, noonish. 1000 words max.
