Not really! But almost.
We have four small ponds in various parts of our land to catch and store rainwater. But despite really good rains this season, the ponds weren’t filling up. So we have been working at unclogging some of the rainwater run-off channels. And suddenly the joyful chuckle of running water can be heard!
The level of water in the ponds has gone up dramatically. This morning we found the island in the large pond almost submerged. Water works are so exciting! Maybe we are all descended from beavers.
And among the landlubbers, the white poinsettia and its offspring are blooming!
The Long View 
What joy to hear those ‘chuckles’! We have a rain-fed river behind our building, and come August we keep straining our eyes, eager to see the water come up gushing. Celebration time!

Oh yes, it’s the last of the coloured ones, paavam just about describes it. The yellow ones are running wild and my daughter keeps scolding me for introducing an invasive species. The orange-yellow ones are particularly aggressive, the lemon-yellow ones less so.

Kajoli! You are really letting your imagination run away with you! That is one muddy pond, very far from Heaven Lake! I’ll concede you the gorgeous blooms though!
