Finally after 72 days without rain - and drought conditions in our south west corner of Western Australia - during last night we heard rain on the roof! What a sweet sound it was. Throughout the day we had showers, interspersed with sunny skys. It has been a long hot dry summer and the rain has freshened everything. I ran outside with my camera this morning before work and took a few photos of the raindrops on my roses.
and leaves......
and in my lunch-hour I drove to the beach and sat in the car and watched the rain......
I picked up a little book of quotes, called "Enjoy the Journey", in a cafe in town today - here is one of them. We are going through a difficult time at the moment and this quote was a gentle reminder to cherish every moment - as it is all part of the "tissue" of life.
"Savor"
Life, we learn too late,
is in the living,
the tissue of every day and hour.

I cannot imagine 72 days without rain! The roses must be so grateful for those precious raindrops. Thankyou for your comment on our transformation, so many people do not have vision which is such a shame.
