Crystal bright sunshine, replaced by grey Doubtful skies, replace sun's bright rays Temperature drops, humidity forgotten Heat respite, warmer clothes not cotton
Over-shadowed skies, reduced activity Farmers need rivers, to reach capacity Brown rolling hills, need rain's coating Cracked-dry land, needing a soaking
Yet we struggle, when day turns dull Nature's cycle, must refresh not kill Day of heavy rain, is what land requires Moisture gift, better than drying fires
After rain, crystal raindrops dazzle-shine Maybe a rainbow arch, will be a sign Nature, does her best to balance-share Changing our outlook, lavishing care
Have been praying for Australia and New Zealand to have rain to combat the fires and especially for the poor animals caught between nature and humans misuse of it. Take care Kathy - spring coming for me and fall for you.

Thank you Kathy USA. We had one day of good rain last weekend, but the Northern regions need a lot more. I remember when living up there, and I did for 23 years, how the grass goes brown earlier than more southern regions. Kathy NZ

Thank you godsprincess for your comments. We do have heat problems here in NZ that is affecting the fresh water situation, but Australia will take far longer to come right after the fires when so many animals and humans suffered and still are. At least for us, autumn is just around the corner......Kathy NZ

gnj4u......thank you for reading Joy and leaving a comment.....always appreciated. We're told in NZ that now we are officially in Autumn we can expect lower temperatures....some as soon as tomorrow. Looking at my garden this evening, rain would be a welcome sight.....but it will soon change and we will be longing for sunshine after a wet winter....what would we do without seasons..... Kathy
