In Crete, it stops raining some time in May, and not a drop of water falls from the sky until at least mid-September. We love it; it cleans up the town and ensures our water supply over the summer period. Only the tourists might have been disappointed.
This particular shower lasted from early evening Sunday until early afternoon Monday, and it was very heavy, as can be seen by the state of our recently planted garden.
A blessing that smells heavenly!

Ah, so that's where all the rain went. You left only a few drops for us yesterday in our windy dust storm.
ReplyDeleteLovely picture of the seedlings drinking it in.
κι όμως μια βροχή θα μας σώσει.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. I'm happy for you. We're still waiting.
ReplyDeleteRain showers are good for the plants. I love the rain showers in Summer. The earth has a perfect smell.
ReplyDeleteI didn't mean the planet earth, i meant the ground.
ReplyDeleteAnd Sarasota Florida is waiting on rain too.
ReplyDeleteOh to live in a country where rain is a blessing rather than a curse!!!
ReplyDeleteWhen we moan about the rain we all too often forget those that so desperately need it. A beautiful image because it's so welcome.
