I really hope you manage to save your gardens. It's amazing to have parks and the like around for us not to completely lose contact with nature. I recently went on a trekking trip to some waterfalls hidden deep inside the forests of a local mountain and I felt like a new man after coming back - I'd been too long locked in between concrete walls.

As to rain, I honestly hate it when it comes and I have stuff to do around town. If it's troublesome in normal cities, I dare you to picture how it is in Caracas, with our collapsed sewage system and roads that haven't been properly cared for in a decade. Everything gets flooded and it's virtually impossible to accomplish anything!

Even so, I'd rather drown in rain than have it disappear. Droughts are about the worst thing I can imagine.

Great post. Upvoted and followed!
