It is raining



Finally, after about 4 weeks of sunshine, it is raining.
It started yesterday evening, as they (the weatherforecast) had predicted.

It is a perfect soft rain, perfect for nature I mean.
The dry soil is hungry for it, takes it in slowly.
:)

Looking over to the barn I see Midas eating out in the rain, he loves it!
Indigo is more of a sunshine "person", so he is eating inside.

Missy, our cat, wanted to go outside for a while this morning...
She was back inside quite fast!
;-)

I love rain like this!
The air is so clean, it smells great outside.
The birds are sitting on the electric highwire, taking a shower and cleaning their feathers.

And nature seems to take a
peaceful nap in the silence of the falling raindrops.


Fantastic Monday everyone!

:))

  2. It is raining here in Montana today too. A nice soft, gentle rain. Our earth is thirsty here too. Everything is turning green now.

  4. Hej hej! Thanks for finding the time to visit my blog and for your comments all over - very encouraging!I like the way how you describe the rain - reminds me of the time I spent with my grandma in her tiny shabby little summer house when I was little - probably one of the happiest times in my life!

    Yes I have been to Sweden, I actually spent 1 year in Karlstad doing my Master's there and then came back to Stockholm for occasional visits...I really miss that time, I have learned so much back then, not only with regards to my studies but also about love to nature, tolerance, independence, and I really love Swedish design - so simple but handy, economic and beautiful. So you are Swedish living in Austria? Saw the list of your movies and it reminded me - have you watched 'Into the wild' by any chance? I thought you might find it interesting ;)

  7. Last week I was in Hamburg and came right into a beautiful thunderstorm. Jojo and I were sitting in the bus while it was raining and howling all around us, and I looked at the puddles and the lighting, and I thought, I LOVE IT!
    Usedom is still waiting for rain! Our garden needs it badly.
