After The Rain

Day 40
30th June 2009

Yesterday we had a bright blue sky, sunshine, heat; and it was muggy. Late last night there was a huge downpour, and then there were showers throughout today, until the sun made its appearance in the late afternoon.
I noticed the jewelled effects of numerous raindrops suspended on leaves, twigs, flower petals and spiders' webs, and the earthy, woody smell of fresh rainfall, as we walked our daughter home from playgroup. For her it meant puddle-jumps in wellies all the way home; for our son it was an assault on the senses, at which he looked about him in amazement and wonder. He wasn't quite sure what to make of it all!
One thing I have noticed, though, is that this blog has featured water for the last 5 entries...
