The Relentless Heatwave Today's weather forecast Says more of the same Its been fifty three days There is no sign of rain As the temperatures soar The sky remains clear With no relief in sight Searing heat is severe Wildfires off in the distant As it blackens the sky My garden once green Is now parched and dry Enduring the many weeks In the dire need of rain Humidity so oppressing As I wilt under the strain Hope©2004 |

Oh you should have been out here in Cali this morning It was raining cats and dogs! It was so cold, I had to milk my cow with an ice pick... And on the way back, I stepped in a poodle... Okay, that's enough...   |

Hope, im originally from south carolina, but, ive been living in Perth since 1996....so every single second of this heat you felt..i was in a neighbouring suburb feeling it too! though lucky me, i have no grass....so the concrete balcony needs no watering! LOL dont worry...past april, and the rains will come...*I hope*! |

 (big angel hugs) Oh Hope, I send many rainmaker hugs your way, sweet friend, we don't get a lot of rain here in Colorado either, it's like the northern Outback here! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, may your garden be lush and green as can be, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Hope, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "You'll find something that's enough to keep you |
