家の前にある真っ赤な花を咲かせていた木ですが、コットンのような種を実らせています。４０度を超えた初夏、強い風に吹かれたコットンは、雪のような風景を作り出していました。札幌の懐かしい雪を思い出しました。

Snow Falling in Hot Delhi デリーの雪
The tree with bright red flowers (which, when in bloom, gave Roger such awful sneezes), now formed cotton balls. On the first "real" hot summer day (104 F), the blowing wind created an amazing snow-like scene. It reminded me of a quiet snow day in my hometown in Japan.

Blooms in Just the Right Place
In the corner of our balcony, we have ferns. I water them every morning. But today for the first time, I noticed something underneath the fern!! 
It was a clump of impatients growing and blooming! Last year, I bought an impatient plant, but it did not survive more than a few weeks of the severe heat of April. Before it died, somehow its seed must have fallen into just the right place. It waited there quietly for a whole year, then the life burst out of that tiny seed! Now it is blooming in the shade of the fern. Somehow God spoke to me, "I know just the right place for you to bloom."
