*Does a little dance*
Finally we have some rain and it is bucketing down!
Admittedly I got soaked on more than one occasion today but it was so
refreshing against the skin and the temperature has dropped a tad so it’s very
welcome. I know the gardens and especially the lawn will love it, it has been
so hot and dry here but hopefully it won’t be so much that the ground can’t
cope with it.
There is nothing nicer than listening to the rain battering
against the windows and roof and the sound of water cascading from neglected
guttering. It’s so soothing, like a energising cleanse for the earth. I love
nothing more than snuggling up in bed at night all warm and toasty, listening
to a good downpour. Even better with a little thunder and lightning thrown in
but I will take the rain alone, I’m not fussy. I stood in the doorway earlier
admiring my magnificent sunflower, standing in the rain, its big leaves an
umbrella for the garden crawlies. Ah, rain glorious rain...how I have missed
you!
