Dollars for Ukraine
Last week I stated that I would donate $1 for every like on my WQW post. I had 62 likes. Donna @ Retirement Reflections has a great post with lots of ways to donate. It is hard to know which organizations to trust. Since our church also raises money for the people in Ukraine, I chose to donate through that organization. Here is the receipt they sent me.
Global Treasury Services via e-mail at donorservices@nazarene.org. Date/TimeMarch 30, 2022 19:20 Amount$62.00
My Choices for Rain
Definition Rain: moisture condensed from the atmosphere that falls visibly in separate drops.

“The Sun after the rain is much beautiful than the Sun before the rain!”
― Mehmet Murat ildan
This quote sounds good, but is it true? It’s romantic to think that because water has a cleansing effect. In Central California, it is true because the unwashed air is so dusty. However, here in Prescott, times before the rain can be beautiful too.
“True, the sun and the wind inspire. But rain has an edge. Who, after all, dreams of dancing in dust? Or kissing in the bright sun?”
— Cynthia Barnett
Without water – rain or irrigation – the earth is dangerous to our lungs and can no longer feed us. The Central Valley of California is one of the largest agricultural areas on the earth. Without rain, it looks bleak.
“Rainy days should be spent at home with a cup of tea and a good book.”
— Bill Watterson
Right! Or better – standing in the cover of a building overhang with your mouth agape, amazed at how much is falling and how it doesn’t stop people from going about their business. These next pictures were taken on a summer day in Brisbane. It must be the rainy capitol of the world!
Or taking a river cruise in Brisbane, AU.
Urban Rain for Sunday Stills
“The nicest thing about the rain is that it always stops. Eventually.”
– Eeyore
“Let the rain kiss you. Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. Let the rain sing you a lullaby.”
— Langston Hughes
“You pray for rain, you got to deal with the mud too. That’s a part of it.”
– Denzel Washington
“And when it rains on your parade, look up rather than down. Without the rain, there would be no rainbow.”
– Gilbert K. Chesterton
Even though the Census Bureau classifies urban areas as having populations of 2,500 or more, there is nothing as fun as a small-town parade – even with a threat of rain.
