It was a relief to finally hear drops of rain falling outside around 9.30 pm last night… I just wanted to mention that as I am writing this thunder is rumbling overhead and welcome rain has been falling in the south of Australia. The road to the south coast was also reopened earlier in the week . The heat of the bushfires is cooling and I know many, many people overseas and in Australia have been praying for rain for us. The welcome outpouring of support for the bushfire victims and fire fighters has been so appreciated and shows how much love comes out of a disaster. So this is a thank you to everyone who expressed concern and support here on my blog 0ver the past few weeks. It certainly was a challenging start to 2020. I am enjoying the sense of dark pregnant swollenness that comes with foreboding rain this afternoon. There is no sun, only a lot of cloud but its certainly welcome. I got busy planting up a few purple verbena plants after a visit to the nursery with Jasper earlier. Its also such a relief to have some release from the intense pressure of the heat that dogged us recently as temperatures were feeling unbearable but this last spate of intense heat is sadly a sign of things to come, which makes any rain feel all the more welcome.
Emerging From The Dark Night 
What we all have been waiting to hear the rain has arrived. Concerns are still there as you are mid summer with a few more weeks of heat pray this is kept in check. May the rain quench the thirsty fires as they burn their paths throughout the country. Devastation, at its highest. Lessons to be learned perhaps more will wake-up knowing they are responsible for all of this. You and Jasper take care.

We will I just came home through heavy hail… everything is so extreme at the moment. Luckily Jasper was safe inside, dogs know how to take care of themselves. The storm has rumbled on through now. Much love to you, Nanette.
