It seems you have the same weather we´ve had yesterday. Yesterday The Hague looked more like Venice. They say there is a lot of damage - well, not as bad as in Pakistan - but i liked seeing all these cars stuck in water.
Bertus, within the past two days three times I emptied our rain-barrels, to give room for the next rain - altogether 2,400 litres. Means: We use a former septic tank/cesspit as a reservoir for dry periods during summer, so that we can water our plants. Last year I saved about 4,000 litres - and when the drought ended (after five weeks) there was almost no drop left. That's why I don't mind the rain. Next year's drought - and if it decides to last eight weeks - will meet me prepared.
Jams, ominous and ... fascinating. Still I hope for some dry and sunny days - for the sake of paprikas, potatoes, tomatoes etc..

Mysterious sky bordering on eerie. Hopefully sunny days come your way soon.
ReplyDeleteAh, Lady Janice,
ReplyDeleteyour words in the sun's ears!
WATER MUSIC
ReplyDeleteFriday is skyday
The sun hides away
Let it rain and rain
No dryness again
In the garden sitting
And my coffee sipping
I cannot stop laughing
At the water dripping
Over the land and me
A Handel Symphony
Allegretto
Bravissimo
Encore
Encore
That has a definite autumnal feel to it.
ReplyDeleteClaude,
ReplyDeleteshall I book tickets in advance for next year`s Händel_festival? Can't promise rain, though.
Ruth,
now, and don't both we like autumn? :)
I can see a face in that cloud!
ReplyDeleteWe have ominous clouds at the moment too.
I love autumn :-)
ReplyDeleteCherryPie,
ReplyDeleteshhh, I am so glad I am not the only one seeing faces ...
Ruth,
so there are already two of us. :)
Add me to the list.:) The splendour, the colour and the melancholy...
