"Rain Dance"

I know there are parts of the country that are having serious problems with flooding right now, but here in Southern California, we are praying for rain. We were promised some rain last Friday and I tried to do my part by painting this, doing a little dance, and begging for some rain. We didn't get any but it sure looked like were were going to have a storm. We were teased by the heavy black clouds, but we didn't get any precipitation.
We are in such a desperate drought situation after four years of very little rain and I really hope that we have a mild summer so that our need for water is lessened. However, it seems that in the past several years, the summers have been much hotter than average so I'm not going to hold my breath...
Bonjour chère amie,
ReplyDeleteLe problème de l'eau devient un sérieux problème dans de très nombreuses régions. Nous apprenons à aménager nos jardins avec des plantes qui nécessitent moins d'arrosage.
Comme vous le dites si parfaitement bien certains souffrent d'inondations. Le monde devient fou...
J'aime beaucoup cette oeuvre que vous avez peint.
Ce matin, une pluie fine arrose ma région. Je ne pense pas que cela dure... je vous l'envoie...
❀ Gros bisous ❀
Oui, je crains que nous allons perdre beaucoup de nos plantes précieuses cet été si ils ne peuvent pas apprendre à vivre sur un terrain de moins d'eau. Je ne peux pas vous inquiéter à ce sujet maintenant, mais juste prier pour la pluie et un été frais.
DeleteSo pretty and I am reminded of images of paradise where one can stand beneath a waterfall and actually shower.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sherry. You are always so poetic. : )
DeleteIt has been a while since I've visited here and it is always wonderful to catch up on your many lovely pieces. I can almost hear the roar of the water tumbling here.
ReplyDeleteThank you Joan. That is the effect I was wanting. Thank you for visiting again.
DeleteWould have enjoyed seeing the dance, will try to blow rain west as we have had lots, not like Texas, but we are in the on pattern. Know however before summer is over it will shut off.
ReplyDeleteOur rain season is usually over in April but this year we did have a couple of days of rain in May, which was much needed, but still not enough for our drought situation. It's going to be a tough summer.
