All Hail The Rain Fairy!

We all look forward to summer after a long, cold winter. The warmth provides much needed respite from the chill. However, as summers proceed, the sun becomes potent. It dries up the water holes and plants. Hunting for food and water becomes a challenge. So, all of us look forward to monsoon. 

Unfortunately, over the years, summers have become longer. And rains sparse. It is problematic because most of us are getting ready to raise our offsprings. Unavailability or limited availability of food and water makes it super hard to raise our young.

Luckily, among us there is a rainy fairy. Her presence and calls alert of us the incoming rain showers. She is the one and only Ms Peahen. Whenever we hear the calls or site her along with her partner, the flamboyant Mr Peacock we get readyyyy! 

And right on cue, we are blessed with the first rain of the monsoon season. And just like the water holes are filled again, plants are green, and flowers are blooming. This is the magic of monsoon announced by the mystical Peacock family.
