After two days of rain

[puddleshark]

So much rain in the last few days. Whatever happened to that spell of good weather we always get when the kids go back to school?

A morning walk around the forest. Stillness. Damp. Chill. Earthballs popping up beside the tracks. The gorse bushes draped with silver webs. A Sika doe, still wearing her summer dapples, in amongst the young conifers. We exchanged glances and moved on.

A single chiffchaff singing, but unlikely to summon Spring.

It hasn't been wet here. Then yesterday it was though a hot July day had suddenly materialised in September. 22.5C according to my car. Then today the weather is very weird. The sky is flat grey and there isn't a breath of wind.

We had two days of solid rain, enough to form a lake in the middle of the supermarket car park. I don't mind the rain so much, but this morning it is so gloomy I need the lights on to see what I'm doing.

These posts still register as poetry to me.
(It hasn't been too rainy here, thankfully)

Thank you!

I don't normally mind the rain. But everything in moderation! We are having so much rain.
