We are already in high summer

Between watering the garden and watering the flowerbed in the yard AND watering my vegetables, I never seem to have enough time to get online :s Jeesh ... this May has gotten away from me in more than one thing. It has been exceptionally hot and nature has been working over time ... It is the end of May and we are already harvesting strawberries, raspberry and lettuce. My tomatoes are coming like mad as well as my courgettes. The wheat on the fields already turns golden and we are in desperate need of rain.

Today, beyond our garden gate.

You were in desperate need of rain if ...

all radio stations played rain related music all day long while rain was peltering down on the dried out earth. Imagine driving around in the car, singing "Singing in the rain" at the top of your lungs and having the windows down and feeling the rain drops on your skin while coming back from shopping. It was fun, it was wonderful ... it was about time.
We had rain and temperatures dropped from 31°C yesterday to a mere 16°C today. But what a relief it has been. Mother Nature took a huge breath that could almost be heard and now the trees and bushes and grass as well as the crops in the fields are greener and healthier than yesterday. Our ducks went crazy and the white Peking ducks were gallivanting in the pouring rain, flapping their wing, opening their beaks and just being happy. Happy especially about all the little wormy things suddenly vacating their holes in the dirt and chicks and ducks had a feast on those pesky snails.

A week ago we got some new additions for our chicks and ducks ... four Cleghorn chicks and five Peking ducks (the Donald Duck variety). The ducks are hilarious and now I know why Donald and Daisy walk like they do and are so adorable ;-)
