Rain rain go away

agree about rain, I was lucky to get some garden work done yesterday.
Your cat looks v handsome.

I agree Sewingk ... I want the heatwave back. Tipping it down here right now and I've hardly been able to get into the garden all weekend.
Nice to see Toffee - I remember that awful morning when he didnt return home, but it all ended OK in the end :-)

Toffee's lovely :)

Weeding, i too got a lot done yesterday, which was good because until 6pm we'd had torrential rain here all day !
I don't mind the rain though.

i like the rain but even i am getting fed up now. pond is looking goosd and the astilbe is really happy.

Toffee is as photogenic as ever....
My gardens have been so dry that I welcome the rain...
but I realise some gardens have had too many downpours and are flooded...

Is the water not draining away in your garden ?

the pond has an overflow and the astilbe is planted near to that. so no flooding for me thank heaven.

Oh yes no probs there TT its just i get out there then the heavens open, so can't do much i bought a Coreopsis 3 days ago still waiting to get it planted, its really thrown it down here, the plants are loving it (and the weeds :o( ) but its frustrating!

Yes, I can understand how you feel !

He's a prettily-marked chap isn't he Sewingkilla? My cats eat the birds' bread too - hubby didn't believe me 'till he saw him & said if you offered him bread in the kitchen he'd look at you as if you were mad but he'll steal it from the birds!
Just goes to show them nawdy moggies always have to have one over on the robins!

As for the rain...I was thankful for a let-up yesterday evening for our party & folk could sit outside for a bit but it soon got chilly...we lit a roaring log fire & we all sat inside but with the door still open. :0)

We have had a lot of rain for a few weeks, but its also windy so as it rains the winds dry everything up, so still have to water everything.

Sorry to hear you're all fed up with the rain - we're roasting here in temps of 34 +!! Sitting by thg pool all day, BBQs every evening, G&Ts in the shade on the balcony - gosh, you lucky people! (Sorry!) ;o)

i agree with you Sewingk.........come back summer..... all we have is heavy rain and very strong winds.... poor plants .....i wonder if my tomatoes will ever ripen......How lucky you are Nariz................
