Some much needed rain here this morning. Not heavy, just steady. Now I will be able to hear the grass grow.

A very heavy thunderstorm at 5 pm. Wonderful !! I reckon about an inch fell in half an hour. The scents afterwards were ooooooohhhh !!

Had a short deluge of rain about 8pm yesterday:-

That looks like the one we had earlier, Nuthatch.
Rained again during the night and right now it's becoming quite dark. More on the way, I think.
The wetness is quite crucial at the present moment because my mixed seeds (eschscholtzia, digitalis, nasturtium and calendula) are popping through with no help whatsoever from a week of dry, hot weather.
Bless .......

All wet around here this morning. Was raining slightly when I got up, but never came to much. Not a very good start to the day.

Rain in the night. Early on this morning I watched a dunnock right out in the open on the lawn, sitting in the grass and flapping its wings as though it was in water, bathing. It was having a sort of grass-bath (??).
