Storms

I love the fact that God has blessed us with so much rain...it's awesome to see the environment around us, which we are so used to seeing in various shades of brown, so lush & verdant!

The rain has come with many many storms. This also has brought much humidity which we aren't so used to out here. The combination of humidity and rain and heat and sun and all those other things that help with photosynthesis, has created much work for Chris and his trusty (well, Dad's trusty) lawnmower. He mowed the lawn last Tuesday and had to mow it again on Saturday as it had grown about 3 or more centimetres in that time. It now looks as though it needs mowing yet again!

Thankfully, the rain has also helped our poor trees which were lacking greatly. My poor melalucha was turning brown, our macadamia tree has died and even my sucullents were beginning to look sad. But now everything is looking healthy, my frangapani has many more leaves this year than it did last year, hopefully I'll have flowers again this year as Fran didn't seem to feel too motherly and didn't sprout any last summer!

So, nature is loving the storms, I'm loving watching the storms...

Amen!
