Rain

We finally saw the rain yesterday afternoon (Sunday). It wasn’t a lot, but it was great to see it at long last.

We had winds and heavy rain last night though and persistent rains all day today. It will take a fair few days, if not months of heavy rains to fill up the dams here that have been almost emptied. Our water butts were pretty full from the grey water we saved earlier, but they are both full now.

As I filled the kettle up this morning, the garden was filled with a variety of birds, all pulling the worms from the wet soil beneath them. It was a lovely sight to see and a distraction with all the otherwise sad news that is around at the moment.

We are due rain all week from what I have seen. If we only have light showers, I can continue my daily walk, however if it is heavy and persistent then I will have to give it a miss.

The garden looks amazing after the rain and the plants are probably so very appreciative of it too.

Hope you are all still staying safe and keeping your social distancing , which will be the new normal now, sadly.

Smile and have a happy day 🙂
