Raining Again, Maybe All Week

Here I am inside again. It is raining. I just heard thunder.
Right before the rain began we had thunder. I did not hang the sheets on the clothesline, I knew the weather was coming.
Besides being good for hanging clothes, clotheslines make a great perch for all of the birds. I have seen cardinals enjoying the line. This morning I saw another bird. It looked to be navy blue with a reddish buff colored chest. I really enjoy seeing the wildlife that lives around here. Hubby said he saw a coyote the other morning. Princess definitely does not stay outside when we are gone.
Enjoy your weather and your day. It is almost time for me to have lunch. Here is an image of local clouds.

Oh maybe you will get some nice green grass out of the rains Heather, though while it is going on, it might be nicer if sunny.
It is coolish here but sunny for now.
I hope you have a lovely day there all the same.

I cannot even keep up with mowing the grass and weeds, but that is alright. The gardens love the rain. We should have some sun on Wednesday.

When you have experienced drought, it is easy to be grateful for rain. I had a neighbor who said he always planted extra for the birds and other animals to enjoy.

@paigea He did not really like veggies to eat anyway. He just felt that it was better to grow veggies than grass.

By the middle of next month I am sure we will be wishing for the rain to return.

In my book there is always something else to plant. I hope you are enjoying your day.

@GardenGerty I have a dryer too, and it always seems something needs mowed.

The birds will enjoy perching on your clothesline; such a nice view! It is also raining in our place usually in the afternoon.

After ten days rain is going to start at my place
. After the hot summer here, I am finally going to get a wave of cool air here. I am waiting for the first rain here
. Outside my house, there is a seasonal tree, Sometimes some different color birds come and sit on the tree. Its a lovely site to see. When i was small i love to play in the rain water. Now too i love to go out with my umbrella or wind jacket in heavy rains. Enjoy your weather too.

I like it when we have a balance of both.If it turns off hot after the rain it will feel real steamy.

I am sure we are going to have something nice. Meanwhile, I am enjoying working on inside projects. At least three counties near by are under flood watch.

I suspect that for those who will look there are lots of wild animals everywhere. This time of year the storms come and go.

For some reason I rarely see birds on my clothesline although the spiders are quick to move in sometimes and create the most beautiful webs.
