Thunder

We found Thor.

We have been promised rain over and again by the professional forecasters and never got a drop. There were multiple days that all the perfect factors were in place and yet we didn't get any of what was so widely predicted. It was so close. They said it would happen but then it didn't. And then they said it again and again, day after day, and we gave up believing anything they had to say. About rain. Because it wasn't true and it wasn't going to happen. 

Maybe it was because Thor was lost. 

Mr. L brought Thor over to play a few weeks ago when he came to visit. It was a backyard, sit-in-the-grass fun-time, but it got late and Thor was forgotten outside when it was time to go home. He was left and the next day all the small searches made to recover him went unsuccessful. The scanning of the ground in measured steps didn't turn up the God of Thunder. So we gave up and could only wish for rain since the mighty king was gone.

Then yesterday there was a small ruckus raised as the mowers came and edged and blowed and cut the grass outside while Mr. L was here. They moved their equipment around the property to get it into shape and left almost as quickly as they arrived. After they were gone, Mr L and I went to the backyard to see how it looked and there laying on the deck was Thor. He had been found. And then the clouds started to gather and drops started to fall from the sky.

It rained all the rest of the afternoon and most of last night. It was perfection. It was what we needed. There can be only one explanation.  

We found Thor.
