Rain!
At last the
forecast has proved accurate, at least in one respect. We have had rain
overnight. We awoke to a soothing susurration, more
of the type that ‘droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven’ than the thunder and
lightning with which we were threatened. We were graced with around 15 mm or half an inch, so by no means a deluge.It was
supposed to continue raining during the morning, but the message was lost in the ether, and the rain reduced to a drizzle, and then a memory. We need
more, much more.
Hehehe ! our weatherman announced heavy rain, thunderstorms, and nearly the end of the world, the truth is sunshine, some clouds, no wind a dream weather ! I count on Rosie, if she cleans behind her ears then you can be sure that it will rain the next days !
ReplyDeleteI'm sure she's a better forecaster than many others.🐈🐈⬛
DeleteRainy outside my window too :)
ReplyDeleteThe rain has gone and the sun has returned!
DeleteScattered thunderstorms for Sunday, but today (Saturday) is a gorgeous day
ReplyDeleteIt's sunny again now, this afternoon.
DeleteWe've been getting tricked every afternoon with thunderclaps and black clouds and NO rain!
ReplyDeleteWe just get the heavy clouds and humidity, but no thunder. At least we've had some rain, though not enough.
DeleteI saw the forecast and imagined you all being swept away in the floods!
ReplyDeleteNext time, maybe. It's been a very long time - years - since it rained so hard that the drains were temporarily overwhelmed.
DeleteIt was the same here further south, tomorrow looking wet as well🤞🤞
ReplyDeleteOur next rain is forecast for Monday, though it does depend which forecast you consult!!
DeleteSusurration is a very fine word.
ReplyDeleteIt rolls nicely off the tongue!
DeleteWe've had some gentle rain Thursday but only the promise of some since, but rain earlier in June and then the high temperatures had meant our hedging had grown and we've had to have an extra cut.
ReplyDeleteEverything grows too fast at the wrong time.
ReplyDeleteOh we desperately need the rain; we’ve had the heavy clouds but little rain…fingers crossed for later ! Will save me doing the evening watering!
ReplyDeleteA bit of gentle rain would be welcome here. It would help the tomatoes and the pumpkins
ReplyDeleteThere are few things more delightful than lying snuggled in bed listening to the pitter patter of rain on the roof.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed for a few real downpours soon
