Hi Precious Souls!
Hope days are celebration and nights are Peace :)
Like a true survivor you are moving forward eagerly leaving the all obstacles behind!
It's again a dramatic change appeared in weather day before yesterday when suddenly sky got cloudy and started Rain by the evening which last until last night .
I Thoroughly LOVE Rains whether it's winter or summer :)
I badly miss the heavy long lasting rains of my native village which are sooo rare in this small city :(
So me and my family always Celebrate the Rain like festival , Yesterday was not an exception .
I made some special food ,hubby took half day off and brought cake
(during rain ,no power, no baking at home ).
We spent whole grey wet day together and absence of power kept us more close as kids gave us company instead of playing games.
( we avoided opening generator deliberately during daytime so we can stay more close instead of dragged by technology :)
We watched old videos (in my phone) of my eldest son his songs ,his chat and fun talking with us that i recorded for such times !
Rain always brings nostalgia along ,so while cooking in Kitchen i recalled so many memories of my native home and my dear late parents ,our gatherings in such rains and walk over sloppy hills around my home.
Sharing some views of my native village captured by my younger son during our previous visit !
hope you will like them,
Images are taken from the peak of hill which is opposite to my native home, my childhood and the teenage has passed among this gorgeous valley ,playing with friends ,running through these fields which were filled sometimes with high corns and sometimes wheat ,swinging under the trees and making clay houses are treasure that keeps me much alive,
Stream flows from the eastern hills and passes by while singing cheerful songs that still echo in my ears in full moon nights
It's been 26 years i have left my village and each time i visit there i find so many changes except only the warmth and love of people :)))
day before yesterday when dark clouds took over the blue sky
last day when rain slow downed i captured this lonely Egret sitting still under the shower , his loneliness and willingly being under rain touched my heart
i wondered why he is not going under any shelter ?
Some new blooms beautified my yard :)
close up of gorgeous white smiles !
Isn't it so pretty and vibrantly beautiful !
spring is opening her eyes slowly in each pot through different colors
Thank you sooo much for all the love and support my precious fellows!
keeping you in my thoughts and prays always !
Keep celebrating each breath as second can be an illusion !
The moment in your hand is all you have as LIFE!
God Bless You All!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hugs!
In here it is raining right now☺ I love your flowers,they are so pretty, I can't wait for the Spring here ☺

Wish you an early Glorious Spring my friend!
Another marvelous post. I also love the rain. It really does impact a special feeling on everything. It is really nice in the way that you turned the day into family time.
ReplyDeleteThank you dear Brain!

To me Rain is a magical event, it totally reinvent my day :)
How lovely that either you love rain !
Enjoy the rain! Your gorgeous flowers clearly enjoy it too!
ReplyDeletePositively beautiful. How nice to have a river so close by.
ReplyDeleteI, too, love the rain but we get precious little here where I live. Enjoy.
Thank you dear Linda!
DeleteOh I can't tell how much I miss olden childhood days when we used to swim in that glorious stream!
One of most powerful and stunning memories belong to this flowing water .
While Laying in front yard under stary sky listening the soothing singing of stream is unforgetabl experience !
Your son's village photos are so lovely as are your spring flowers! Watching old videos sounds like fun when it rains.
ReplyDeleteOh that is Best we do during such family times dear Christine!
DeleteI was overwhelmed when I saw these panoramic images in my son's phone .
Found them worth sharing
A nice warm rain is very pleasant.
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed dear Red :)
DeleteI still love playing under rain like child ,
No other such joy
We are kindred spirits, Baili, in our love for rain. Happy memories here, too, lying in bed at night & listening to the rain falling on a metal roof. I live in the Pacific Northwest and we are currently loving our rainy season. The air is washed clean and our landscapes are every shade of green.
ReplyDeleteYour blog post is just lovely today. Thank you for sharing your heartwarming memories and for the beautiful photos of your village. The gorgeous flowers are icing on the cake :)
Thank you dear Chris !
DeleteThank sooo much for such beautiful kind words!
It seems rain connect our soul more deeply to life and univers :)
I really convert into different version of me when it rains !
Loved the way you shared your love for rain and how much you are enjoying the soothing drpling of rain on your roof !
I absolutely Love such beautiful voice either. It calms my senses and soothens my thoughts.
Nature is Best mother to provide us all we need to groom time to time
Rain is m favorite weather. We go out and dance in the rain. Some people think we are strange. The pictures are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteDon't have time to think about lifeless people dear Emma!
ReplyDeleteWe think about God who says that
" being happy and dancing like a want is truly worship "
Yes this is dance of saint :)
Not want like a SAINT who stays happy in all ups and downs of life
DeleteNever think bad for anyone
And his dance displays his depth of GRATITUDE !
Dear Baili, have you ever seen the American-made movie "Singing in the Rian" with the actor/dancer Gene Kelly? It is a classic here in the United States as he sings and dances in the rain. I know you would enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteYour gratitude for all that has been your life is inspiring. Peace.
Your flowers are so beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteThank you dear Angela!
DeleteWe’ve had lots of rain this winter, Baili, in between lots of snow. I’d rather one or the other.
ReplyDeleteI can imagine constant grey weather cause enxiety dear Marie but believe constant dry weather is also terribly disappointing
DeleteTherefore RAIN IS FEEL LIKE GIFT!
What a lovely post.
ReplyDeleteLovely seeing all of the photographs and I love your flowers, they are so pretty.
All the best Jan
Thank you dear Jan thank you so much!
DeleteSuch lovely views! And the flowers are beautiful. Enjoy the rain. We are still dealing with snow and freezing rain. I look forward to warmer rainy days!
ReplyDeleteThank you dear Martha !
DeleteHope you meet soon your early spring and warm rains!
Baili, it's wonderful that you love the rain, cause not everyone appreciates it. I'm glad you've been having rain, and we've been having lots here too. It's nice that you spent time together with your family during the rainy night watching old videos and chatting. Your flowers are already starting to bloom. Those white ones are so delicate and lovely. And love the yellow cheerful one.
ReplyDeleteYou always have an enthusiastic way of seeing things, dear Baili. You are such a thankful person.

Dear Sheri Rain is one of most DESIRED season of my heart.
DeleteIt stimulates my imagination and boost my creativity skills though May be not take shape of something more appreciate than mere poetry but still it uplift my spiritual flight in vast skies of pleasure , gratitude and CONNECTION WITH CREATOR!
That landscape is incredible.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend
Thank you dear Pedro!
DeleteThis beauty is slowly coming under the covers of growing population and stone grinding machines though
But still some of it is there to relat with glorious pure beauty of past
What a wonderful idea, to celebrate the coming of rain! I love rainy days, too, and from the comments I can see I'm not the only one to join you in your appreciation of rain.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos of your native countryside - how lovely to grow up there and have so many warm memories. Even if our childhood home places change in reality, they remain the same in our hearts.
Your flowers are looking very cheery. We have just had four inches of snow and it has a beauty of its own, but I am looking forward to flowers in the spring, too :)
Thank you dear Jenny!
ReplyDeleteIn my native village it always rained a lot .
Sometimes we could not see the sun for weeks .
As kids it was most adventurous time for us
And then in my later half teens when I was not allowed to wander outside much.
Mom would make special meals for rainy days
Lots of swinging , readings and playing with younger sister and cousins.
The dust of 26 years is not thich enough dim those cherished memories from my heart!
Growing in such area rich with natural beauty and warmth of relationship and strong bonding with people is something always remain part of our being and reflect in our attitude and actions time to time
Your rainy day sounds sweet and wonderful. I enjoyed your photos--especially of your flowers. I am so ready for spring to return.
ReplyDeleteOh spring rains are so delightful! We are still getting snow here! I loved seeing all your gorgeous blooms that you have it already! So wonderful that your family enjoyed such precious family times together!!! We do that here when we have a snow storm ❄❄ blessings and hugs!!
ReplyDeleteThank you dear Marilyn!
DeleteHow lovely that either you celebrate the snow storms which though bring rough weather still they unite family to share warmth of LOVE:)
Your flowers are so beautiful! I love all the photos! Thank you! Enjoy the rain! Big Hugs!
ReplyDeleteIt's so cold here that any precipitation we get is snow. Your rain sounds lovely, Baili, and I love how you celebrated it with your family. I enjoyed seeing the photos of your village. Home is where the heart is always! Sending you love and hugs!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful rainy day you had, Baili! :-) Families should spend more time together, without their technical gadgets, concentrating only on each other... I love the photos of your beautiful native village, the lonely egret on the roof, and your lovely cheerful flowers, too. :-)
ReplyDeleteI like rainy days in general including our one and half months rainy season. Rainfall makes me feel tender and conjures up the memories of my late loved ones. I like to go into sleep, hearing the sound of gently falling rain. Your native village is beautiful, rich in nature. The eagle looks dignified, perching alone. The flowers are lovely. I like your expression “Spring is opening her eyes slowly in each pot through different colors.”
