Timely Rain

A few days ago the first blessed showers to break the recent dry spell fell, much to everyone's relief. We take a lot of things for granted in our little corner of the globe. Fresh water supply for one. If the El Nino-induced drought dragged on for longer our water dams would very soon run dry and we'd be rationing water. Like during that very severe drought in the early 90s when everyone bought buckets and waited for the water truck or took showers at relatives' houses which had wells.
It rained again today. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for more rain. And for God's blessings. We have much to be grateful for. Lest we forget how fragile we are.
