Raining in my garden
The
weather has been so hot these last few days I was planning on sitting
out in my garden for a couple of hours after work. I’ve already done my
little bit of maintenance for a week or so, the grass is still short,
the hedge still trimmed and when I left for work this morning all was
well. I had visions of my garden chair, maybe a cool beer from the
fridge, my radio, bird song, the lazy buzz of bees collecting nectar and
some real quality ‘me’ time, just sitting watching the world go by.
Mmmmmm……………sounds
so good. Well Mother Nature had other ideas, on my way home the heavens
opened and by the time I reached the gates the whole garden was a mass
of sparkly splashing rain drops. The rain was warm and although I didn’t
particularly want to sit in it, every thing was so fresh and clean, I
just had to stop and take a few photos. Seems to be perfect weather for
snails to be out and about, catching up with a few snail friends and
having a bite to eat.
Oh
and I noticed another clump of ‘weeds’ growing under the gate next to
the clover. I decided I quite like the look of them so they have a
permanent parking permit too, right next to the flowering clover. This
must be my weed amnesty corner. The tiny pink flowers of my 'london
pride' had been battered and scattered all over the ground by the
rain. It looked like minature pink confettie.
But the best thing was the rain drops falling off the leaves, quite beautiful.
