Summer Came Back With A BOOOM

It warmed up!!! And to top it it rained, and boy SOOOO strong! Ingo offered to put up the huge brolly for me, as he knows how much I love the rain. No, I thought for sitting by myself, reading a good book a normal one will do.

Chair to the side, get the book!

 I love this song, too, though they want the rain to stop - I never do (well, certainly I DO when it gets dangerous!!!)   
      

            


See, I enjoyed big:


 Looked a bit bad...

 
Well, the rain was soo BEAUTIFULLY HEAVY!!
 

                


But Henry 🦁 says, so what?!

 
At night in this area scary creatures roam around
"But I´m here to protect you 😘 - read till the light is gone."

Oh, don´t I have the best protector?
To be fair... I have loads of Henries, but THIS one...
I think he stood silently behind my back, in the rain. 
Bet he´s a Pluviophile, too!

I read that book page and now I'd like to know what the book is called. I love heavy rain when I can watch it from inside, if it is mid summer and the air and rain is warm enough I can stay out and get wet, but I would never read a book in the rain, I don't like to spoil the pages.

It´s about YOUR country, Bill Bryson´s "Down Under" :-)
I think I´ll never give the book away (really, I laughed so hard at times), but if... don´t the raindrops show I plain loved it?

I'm lucky to have a front porch that has a roof. I also love the rain, but won't take books out in it. Too many of my books have gotten moldy because of the flood in my basement. Enjoy your time with Henry at your back, though.

...we had a warm day here too, but some rain would be wonderful!

Iris Flavia said...

Elizabeth, oh how I would love such a porch!
No matter if sun or rain I need protection.
Sorry about your books!

Tom, today mild, likely no rain, though, buhuuu.

I prefer the sun, but a heavy rain now and then is very welcome

What a delightful way to spend an afternoon, and your brolly is so colorful.

At some point during the night we had rain here.

Hurrah for suummery rain. I know the kind you mean, warm, so you don't mind even getting wet. That sounds like a great afternoon Iris.

RedPat said...

I don't like to sit out in the rain. I suppose if it was warm it would be okay but I usually head for shelter.

Bill said...

I search for shelter when the rain is bucketing down but if there is no place, I just get soaked. :)
