The whole day was a gloomy one with occasional drizzle and sunshine. So we expected the new year to come raining.
I waited for the year 2019 from this side of the world and I, together with my son and my sister, did not expect that it will rain. The fireworks of the other residents here were lit intermittently because of the rain.
Happy new year! This was the table for our 'media noche' of three.
Good morning on January 1st,2019 my fellow myLotters. It is time to sleep listening to the raindrops.

thanks. it is in our tradition and belief to have more food on the table at the start of the new year, so the whole year'round, we won't be hungry

the soil here is so wet now that the rivers are swelling, i hope the flood waters won't get so high

@ridingbet the problem with my garden is, it doesn't absorb the rain water (or any water). I have to fix it somehow with things from the gardening section. (Lots of things I have to do 
.)

@louievill really? oh, because there are many members of your family that is why you are still up for new year's celebration, right? we are only 3 so, we slept after the media noche.

that is great. for us, we just stayed at the veranda while watching the fabulous fireworks. the sparklers bought for 2018 new year were not lit because it was raining. i would not want to hold a sparkler and then it will die down due to the rains.

@SIMPLYD but the river here is swelling that there are impassable roads in our city now. hopefully the sun shining now will help the flood waters recede
