The drought has broken!

Well after months of glorious sunny weather, we now have rain.
Last night the sound of the rain falling on the roof, was like music to my ears.
You do not know how happy my family are! ~ Instead of a quick shower we will be able to take a long bath again. Also the plants in the garden that are still alive, will be able to thrive again.


Now I will be able to have a skip in my step again, like this Avedon's umbrella Lady ~ isn't she tres chic.

I hope that you are all having a lovely week
Hugs
Carolyn

    I know how you feel about the return of rain though! So welcome!

    Have a great week,

    I wish it breaks as well in my town. It keeps one raining till this very minute. I usually love light rainy days. But I've had enough of it! Please give me back my sunshine!

    Btw, sorry for rambling like this :p Have a lovely week. We're good through the mid-week already!

    Enjoy your long summer and yes, it really does feel good to be having rain again.

    You are so right Lynda, about the well running dry, and that is what it was like here.

    Hi Debra,

    It was lovely to find your beautiful blog via Constance.
    I agree, she is a very sweet person and so caring and kind.
    I will keep you in my thoughts and I hope that everything will go well for you.

    Oh Marsha, you have snow there still! The weather is all over the place, isn't it!
    You must be enjoying having Sophie (she is lovely) and I hope that she gets a good report from the vet.

    Thank you Stefanie.

    Lovely to have a visit from you Melissa ~ thank you.

    Thank you Deanna, for visiting me today and I hope that you have a lovely Wednesday too.

    How nice that you finally have rain. Our summer is just beginning here, we have had a few hot days, but rain in-between.

    Have a lovely day, I love all of your photos today, especially the one with the girl skipping over the puddle with her umbrella. Karen

    Oh sweet Carolyn!
    That's really funny - you have been waiting for the rain to be able to take a fine bath - and in Austria it is raining since weeks nearly every day (it was a wonderful April, but a "lousy May". In some parts of Lower Austria we had high water, and that's why yesterday a woman died; she was drowned in a creek...) But it is healthy for me to read, how precious rain can be! Enjoy it! I wish you a wonderful autumn, dear!
    Big hugs, Traude
    PS: Did you see that I have dedicated a photo to you in my previous post? :o)
