Sorry for your loss.
some times Rehmat converted into Zahmat, we also have very heavy yaling which resulting in increase of cold and damages of plants. But this heavy rain is good for the crops too.

Photo of "Amazing defense by Helichrysum" again attracted my attentions, a great captured.
I hope within a week your garden will be in full blush and bloom again.
Have a Wish to visit your garden...................

Mind blowing Farhan .. I feel sorry as you leave your beautiful garden because of your posting .. I wish I could borrow your garden and copy it from Risalpur and paste it to my garden here in Rawalpindi ... :) By the way which place are you moving to? Hope you are able to establish even more beautiful garden wherever you go. God bless and best of luck bro...

Nostalgia......
Last evening, scrolling through my to do list for Sunday, i was happy despite rain losses that little has to be done after back breaking repair work of two days. Then came the thunder, loud very loud, all night long.........it laughed and laughed loudly.

Like a scared child hiding in the quilt, i closed my eyes....But something was different, very different. I did not run to make arrangements......Had i given up??? Or i had stopped caring?

Morning............"They" had not given up...........

Lush Green Malva "Had its boots facing up to the clouds" in defiance

Snaps appeared as giant conifers standing tall on mountains.

Dill was tending to injuries, but said to me don't worry its not the first time

Mums had a spark in their eyes

Amberboa,Cornflower and Peas signaled Rebirth

She was terrified, but had enough character to give a smile.

Larkspur were having a party

They were eating candies

Some like these Dahlberg had lost their composure and had to be operated.
