Greetings From The Pluviophiles



Finally, finally it happened... warmth and... RAIN!!!! And... THUNDER, too!
Luckily I´d said before, "oh, I feel like having a watermelon" and so it was plain PERFECT!

It started with THUNDER (and Ingo cutting the huge melon to pieces to enjoy):

         

And then, YES!
I missed you, "dear, wet, jumpy friend", here goes, we got the chairs inside in time and sat by the open balcony door and enjoyed the sweetness of summer!

         

This is THE LIFE!
Before it was like being in Darwin, "hot" (for German feelings after all the cold) and humid.
Bliss....

Sadly the rain didn´t last that long, but the thunder came back so strong, the closed balcony door vibrated!!

And then the rain came back, mightily, another show we enjoyed :-)

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!



It´s not Sun Pictures, "The World's Oldest Picture Gardens" (where Ingo still owes me a Pizza!), but, awwww!

Henry?
He was not scared at all!



A big hello to all Pluviophiles out there! :-)

Happy, happy, happy here!

Glad you are having lovely warm weather. We had rain overnight. I like it when the rain falls at night and leaves the days to be sunny.

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, that is perfect, too! The fresh smell and sun!

Tom said...

...the sound of the rain is like music to my ears. We have had lovely weather, but it has and will be so dry. It should be watermelon time soon!

William Kendall said...

Rain helps!

Iris Flavia said...

Tom, it was sweet music indeed! It was so dry since weeks and weeks!
Brekkie today was: Watermelon! :-)

Awesome sounds like a perfect day-and love your lion-you are surrounded by them-hugs

Jeanie said...

Your rain sounds like it was long awaited and lovely and I love that you could sit inside/outside and listen to it. Waiting for it makes it all the sweeter!

Another thing we have in common Iris, I looove the rain! Well except strong and destructive typhoons that we usually get during August to October, but light or moderate rain, I love them (okay I should also say strong but as long as most of us are home okay). There's something so comforting about it, the sound, the scents, and most of all the cooler temperature!

Taking a slice of watermelon from Ingo's plate! Have a great new week ahead dearest Iris!!!

Oh that is the absolute best Iris, warm weather AND rain, the smell of rain is so fresh and clean. Just been back to catch up on missed posts, it sounds like your phone interview went really well, how long before you hear one way or another? Let's cross fingers if you get the job the three, or was it two, weeks annual holiday will allow you to travel, although how long it will be until flights are allowed in is still uncertain. Enjoy your sunny/rainy weather.. oh and the 🍉 xox

Iris Flavia said...

Kathy, yes,to both :-)

Jeanie, it was sooo beautiful!

Steve, we luckily have no such things like typhoons, that sure sounds frightening!
But I lieved in places where you could hear the rain when sleeping, I miss that so much!
To a slice of melon, dear Steve :-)

____

Grace, it can take 1-3 weeks to hear something and my hopes aren´t high...
If I get the job I´ll fight for 5-6 weeks every two years to meet you properly again! xox

Bill said...

Watermelon is a sure sign of summer. we are getting rain and thunder tonight. Have a lovely evening, Iris

RedPat said...

It is sunny and around 20˚C here which is perfect!

gigi-hawaii said...

Watermelon looks good. I am telling David to buy us one.

Mae Travels said...

June weather is usually the best of the year. It’s sunny, bright, and just the right temperature outside. It rained a few days ago, and in fact there was enough wind to knock down some trees, but it’s been super nice ever since. I hope you have lots more good times.

be well... mae at maefood.blogspot.com

River said...

I love summertime rain and those roses are very pretty. I love thunderstorms too, with the crashing thunder and lightning and rain so heavy you almost can't see anything else. I don't like the damage it can cause to homes and cars etc, but I do love storms.
Lions are never scared.

Iris Flavia said...

Sadly no lightening and today the sun is back, though actally we should have more bumpy weather!

Sami said...

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, it was wonderful! :-)
