Rain...

How lovely has the rain been? April was predicted to be a wet month, but so far there has only been a handful of fine days - the rest have been perfectly cool, gloomy and precipitous! All my plants look very happy, but our lawn (I hate lawn) is rather feral. One feels one is on a safari adventure when one journeys to the Otto bin. After so long without I know I shouldn't complain - but the ground is a quagmire (damn you clay soil!), and S can't mow for fear of losing the mower into some sort of quicksand like abyss! There are, however, and abundance of 'jewels' on my white flowering oleander outside my bedroom window. Nature is just beyond amazing, huh? Enough to take your breath away...
