Thankful for the rain
I read this on the web today: “The drought in New South Wales has officially ended after more than nine years, with none of the state’s regions drought-declared. At the height of the dry spell in 2003, 99.5 per cent of New South Wales was in drought.”
I personally find the whole climate change issue overrated – not non-existent, but certainly overrated. The photo here is of our local weir which a few months ago we were told would probably never be full again or that it would take a decade to fill. Yet here it is about 95% full. For some reason the long term cyclic nature of our weather patterns is ignored.
So while the floods caused a great deal of damage it is lovely to see everything so green, paddocks with grass, water in dams and for that I am thankful.

I'm from rainy Washington State. I can't imagine a 9-year drought. It must be wonderful for you to see the results of the rain. Praise the Lord for the rain.
Yes, it is lovely now. During the drought, especially in the summer, it was depressing seeing things so dry and barren.
