Rain .....spreading a little  "JOY"

A picture is worth a thousand words.  Here in southern California,  "LIFE"  everywhere is rejoicing in the fact that raindrops are falling from above.  This gorgeous rose exemplifies 
what excellence in proper nourishment can produce.  She's a beauty alright !


I guess we all take for granted the "normal"  things that always seem to just -be- there and available  ..... until ......it's no longer there.    Some things we have no control over !  Well,  that's an understatement,  really. 


As I sit and type this a.m.,   I  am "listening to the Rhythm of the Falling Rain",  it's a "sound"
I can get used to.  Anyway for a while around these parts it would relieve stress on our minds.
Sometimes though,  it can over produce and become reckless.  So some of us in this valley are hearing reports of very heavy bouts of rain that may or may not cause "flooding".  We here in the lower parts of the valley ( river bottom) remember the last downpour of that "nature" (dimension) and gear up in whatever way we can for readiness.


The road where I "usually" walk " & " where these stables are located can become a "river".

This is my beaten path each morning around 7:00 a.m. ( The end of Rice Rd., & corner of Meyer St. )

It's a bit scary and there's lots of talk.  At the yard sale I conducted Saturday 9/12/15,  along with the "great" camaraderie,  ( oh,  that was a "pip".........:),  an awesome reason for my Yard Sales to begin with _ I discovered the topic of possible "flooding" on more than a few hearts and minds.  Especially, concern for our animal friends.  My neighbors next to me are the proud owners of alpacas and emus.

Alpacas

   

Emu ( I think his emu is Peppy,  the other one is Pepper )

It's gotta be tough for their providers.  Everyday  they bring "love & devotion " to them to see that they have what they require.  I am keeping them in my heart & mind at this juncture.  That's " Life",   we cherish the very good times,  right ?


So,  the awesome sound of sweet rain descending on my patio at this moment brings "Life" and soothing.  "I'll take advantage of what is ",  join me folks.   Even as we do think of these overlooked things,  our minds can take in a lot more that is "ours" for the "precious" MOMENT !  Seize the opportunity !! 

Make it an "awesome" day !!!  Even moment by moment !  It's a "trip" !!
