Tromping through the Tulips after the Rain

We had something like 7 or 8 inches of rain fall across the Dallas/Forth Worth Metroplex over the last few days. The flowers are heavy laden with the moisture come all at once to a dry and weary land that has been in drought for 18 months. Sometimes when what we need most comes en masse it overwhelms us such that we too have trouble bearing up under it. Nevertheless, the tulip seems a bit more lucid and the light blue pansies just more incandescent.
