It certainly has been a wild week in weather, from extreme gusting winds, to torrential rains.
Evidence of the gusting winds - we got caught in the middle of a dust storm. It was a blinding few moments & it made quite a mess of the car.
More gusting winds on another day - I'm using this photo for the SPSH #15 broken chair/bench/stool - it tossed one of the chairs we have in the space behind our fence, we get an unobstructed view of the field & hills behind us, along with some amazing sunsets. There's now a big crack in the back but still usable for sitting.
The farmer's field behind us; newly planted, was flooded for hours & the worry is that it has disrupted the neat rows of planted corn. I took the photo through the bedroom window in the middle of the rain storm. It looks like a lake out there.
3 days after, that lake like puddle is still a large soggy mud pit & the farmer was seen out there shaking his head. Of course it has rained for the last 2 days adding to the mess ... we are going to have to re-install Spring because it just doesn't seem to want to "run" Yesterday I overheard a lady telling her friend that she hasn't got her annuals planted yet as it's still too cold & it's already June (actually madame it is 2 days away) so what's the point.
Wow! Great photos! We were at dinner Saturday night with friends. We'd both walked into the restaurant in sunny, warm weather. All of a sudden I looked up and rain was falling sideways, it was so windy. One of the strongest downpours I've seen in a long time. We wondered how we'd get back to our cars, but by the time we'd finished our meals, it was over. Just a few sprinkles as we walked out.
ReplyDeleteGood one for the broken chair photo. I don’t think the farmer will be too happy about his flooded field. We have had a day of rain today but nothing like that!

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, that is indeed wild and windy and wet :(. I can see the point about wondering whether it's worth bothering with annuals ... Hoping things have settled now and you can once again enjoy your lovely sunsets!
