Hi friends and fellow bloggers,
Today is Day 19 of Gratitude December.
Overnight we had so much rain and I could hear it pounding down for hours. Overall we've had far more rain since mid-September than we've ever had since weather occurrences have been recorded. It's wreaked havoc around the province.
When I took these photos the rain had stopped and the sun had come out. I tried to capture the raindrops on the leaves as evidence of the rain.
Today I am thankful that I have a home and shelter from the rain and cold. There are many homeless in the world including in my beautiful city. Though the different levels of government have been strategizing for years about how to tackle the issue, the solution seems to allude them. I do hope they can find answers because the problem is only getting worse. In a few years I'll have to make some difficult decisions about where I live too. In the meantime, I don't take my home for granted.
In the last several posts, I've mentioned an opportunity to bless villagers in Kenya with a Christmas meal. If you would like to participate and help feed a village family please click the red flower to the right of blog to be connected to Pay Pal.

Hello,
I am sure the rain is needed, after having a dry summer with the fires. Yes, like you I am grateful that I have a home. Take care, have a great new week!
Hi Eileen, normally I would agree either you about the rain. But the rain we've had since September has been virtually non stop and did a lot of damage. Damage included numerous towns and cities destroyed by flooding and major highways destroyed by rain weakening the integrity of soil and man made structures. It would be nice if we could get a happy medium but experts say to expect more of the same in future.
Can't believe you guys get more rain. I guess you're grateful for shelter with comforting heat.
I can't believe how green those leaves are in December. Pretty leaves and sky too.
You got it!
The greenery is due to the rain we get though we font need quite as much for them to remain green.
