It has been almost 4 months since we've had rain in Victoria! Oh the joy I felt when I woke up and heard the raindrops falling heavily on the water-starved ground at 3:40 AM! I just listened to the music of the falling rain, and thanked God for hearing our prayers. We have been hearing about wildfires all over the province, and how difficult it was for the firefighters to control them. This rain, we hope, also fell in those areas where the largest fires were.
The news reporters were asking people how they felt about the rain. Many people said they were happy and enjoyed the rain. Only one person who was interviewed said that the rain was unwelcome. Probably a tourist! I was outside working while the rain fell. It made me feel happy, and more alive to feel rain on my face and arms! It had been unbearably hot in the past few weeks, and the lovely cool rain was such a relief! In time of a drought, rain becomes a super star!
rain,
relief,
happy,
