Is there any life out there?

Final walk for 2019 and the drought surrounding us seems unending. And yet, we are lucky that, at this stage, we are not dealing with the bushfires that others in the state and country are.
Horrifyingly sad stories are emerging of people missing and evacuating onto beaches, firefighters being injured and killed, homes, businesses and towns burning, with no end in sight...
In 2020, I am hoping and praying for rain! Hopefully sooner rather than later to bring some relief from the fires.
