A Season in Quarantine - Day Forty Six

 Another wet one.










My walking buddy didn't like the puddles.
 At least the peonies survived the hail.












 Someone really wants to get home.

A Season in Quarantine - Day Forty Five

The pre and post walk must-have look at the moment!

So, today was a day for getting things wrong, but nicely.

I went out earlier than usual in search of stronger light (in current, dark rainy conditions there was little chance of that) and to get my daily walk in between downpours (not like that worked, either).




 I thought, given the amount of rain, that the water levels in the stream would be higher. I didn't see any sign of that. There was a lot of water, but not noticeably more than on previous days.





I did, however, under estimate how quickly grass and thistles will grow in wet conditions and how many extra holes those cutesy 'liddle' bunny rabbits would try to dig in the wet soil. I'm lucky I didn't break my ankle on a number of occasions. Also, tomorrow, if it's still raining, welly boots will be worn.

A Season in Quarantine - Day Forty Four

In this part of the county we badly need the rain - the ground is parched. After my experiences of yesterday, I badly needed the walk. So yes, it was cold and wet and very lovely. It was also beautifully isolated (no one else was stupid enough to be out walking in the wet!)


A view from inside a barn - I had a much loved child's picture book that told a story of children sheltering in a barn while it rained. So creating this image was a must.
