Why is it raining today…

It’s raining sort of…
Drizzling
Grey skies
Soggy washing on the line
Wet washing languishing in basket
Dew drop beads of rain on washing line
Don’t accidentally knock the line, or
Big cold drops on your head

But….
Green grass
Mowed lawns
No more drooping plants
Now vibrant and crisp herbs appeased
Weeds a-growing abundantly
Happy not to get poisoned today,
in the space where hedge will grow…

Autumn has arrived much too quick!

A little bit of rain yet so many impressions…affecting the laundry, garden, and nature. Broaden it out and it’s endless as can be seen by some of the tag words I’ve used

So if there’s no bees then no honey and so the circle continues on…I don’t think I’ll ever think of a wet day in a stereotype way again!

This post started off as being a short poem …it grew from there.

To all, have a blessed day and try to find the best in maybe a grey sort of feeling day…in Sydney anyway…spring happenings to you all in the northern hemisphere.

  1. We could with some more rain up here in Brisbane. We’ve had a few showers, but I know our farmers need plenty but not too much to drown their crops. A lovely reflective post. :)

  3. So true, Mum. I sigh when I see that Harry can’t go outside and play. Then I smile when I see the daisy bush out the front bursting forth with vibrant yellow flowers and hundreds of new buds. It’s all about perspective!

  6. Not much here yet, but not sure when it arrives either? I’m looking forward to planting something soon in my new little veggie patch. Maybe next week I’ll visit the nursery :)

  7. I am very sad that Autumn has arrived. Thankfully here in Tassie we have had a cracker of a few days of summerish weather and a long weekend to boot. Loving it! #teamIBOT
