A Rainy Day
It rained on Friday, but that didn't dampen our spirits. We had spent a great warm day Thursday cutting grass, trimming, pruning, and otherwise working in the yard. So we were ready. Here's what the rain was like Friday morning:

You have a really nice backyard, it must be nice to have guests over on the rare sunny days we have.
ReplyDeleteNice video, loved the sound of the raindrops. A rainy day gives you a chance to bake and eat cookies!

I love the rain in the country. It's so much needed. In the city, it's often a nuisance, although just old ladies with canes think that! People with lawns are very grateful like you. The sound makes me want to go and have a nap but that big, repetitive raindrop would keep me awake. Love the video. Truly brings me right to your village. I hope you saw me on the road waiving at you,WCS.
ReplyDeleteSorry...It's "waving at you". Well, I learned a new word: to waive = to give up. It's pronounced the same way, isn't it? That's why I made the spelling mistake. I learned English by immersion, not really with books. Although I read a lot of Dickens in those days. Now I read blogs...
ReplyDeleteletigre, it's a great place to hang out with a glass of wine on a warm day!
ReplyDeletebettyann, or, just eat!
claudia, I think that rain in the city can be awfully pretty, too. Everything shines and sparkles. I'm thinking of Paris... and don't worry, I knew what you meant. I make that kind of mistake ALL the time in French.
