I was woken at 1.06 this morning by a very strange and unusual noise. It was difficult to identify immediately, particularly in that haze between sleep and awake. "That's bloody rain!", I thought to myself. No, it couldn't possibly be. Yep, that's definitely rain!
It has been 62 days since the rain gauge has been bothered in Perth, and whilst we only got 1.6mm where I live, the change it has brought has been absolutely amazing.
Most noticeably is the lift in people's moods. There is more of a smile on their faces, although those faces contain bleary eyes because the associated thunderstorms were terrifically loud and woke many households.
After such a long, hot dry spell, the relief the rain has brought is palpable. All the plants seem to have lifted and the atmosphere seems clearer. Maybe it is just a change in perception. This rain is certainly the main topic of conversation around the place.
Mother Nature never ceases to amaze me with her ability to refresh and renew. The whole place certainly seems clearer and cleaner. People's spirits have been lifted, the bird life is chirping and rejoicing in the cooler, albeit humid conditions.
Thank you Mother Nature, you have made our little patch of paradise a little more so today.
Until next time,
