Rainy Day

It's a rainy day here, and back to being quite cold, though just above freezing.  We face a rollercoaster of weather, typical for late March, with alternating days of sun and rain, up to a high of +15°C Tuesday and down to -5 on Thursday.  Eventually it will taper off to +10 or 12° starting a week from now, the first week of April.

It's been raining all morning, heavily at times, and it's supposed to be raining for awhile yet.  The immediate threat of a dry spring is over!

At least our patio is getting well washed, as well as the roads and sidewalks.

One brave Goldfinch was out at the feeder, looking a little damp, and blurry through the wet window.

The windows were streaky with raindrops hitting them and then running down the glass.  But it provided some really interesting patterns, especially against the board and batten end of the shed.

But looking out through the screen door it was all water dprplets.

  2. I particularly like the shot of the shed! I thought of you today when I saw a large patch of mini Irises in a front garden in the Annex. They were so lovely!

  4. It looks perfect for spring flowers! And at least we are getting much the same, a day of sun followed by a day of rain. :-)

  6. The rain would be welcome here too, it would get rid of the rest of the snow and settle the dust. I do so like the photos of the patterns of rain on the windows.

    Take care, stay well!

  12. It rained here too, of course. This gave the car a bit of a much needed wash.

  13. On Thursday it climbed up to 21 degrees by mid afternoon. Unbelievable! Yesterday it rained though and when I was out mid afternoon it was a mere 5.5 degrees. A pair of American Kestrels, very amorous I might add, brightened up the day.

  14. It must have been pretty windy to put that much rain on your windows. It's been really windy down here, gusts of 40 mph plus.
