Rain, lots of rain; pouring, drizzling and dripping down. The air is heavy with mist and fog. But still I like the rain better than drought. As a kid living in a farm house, I hated those summers when we really had to wait for the rain to fall; the cows needed water as did the crops of the fields. The beauty of the sunny days was darkened by the fear of running out of water in our well. Many people living in the cities cannot even think about water as a limited resource, it's just something that comes endlessly out of the tap. While others, mostly in the southern parts of the world really need to fight for their water. So I've decided to be thankful for the rain we get.
The water makes many of the best parts of August possible. Without proper rain there's no hope of mushrooms. The raspberries as well as the vegetable garden need their share of the water too. Not too much of it though.

Hi Merruli!
Thanks for visiting my blog so that I could find your delightful blog! Your photos are stunning.
I'll be back often.

Olen ihan samaa mieltä, sade on parempi kuin kuumuus ja kuivuus. Harmaa ilma on minusta kutsuva, ja harmaa kesäpäivä on ainoa, johon osaan pukeutua niin, että ei ole kylmä eikä kuuma. Sade on ihanaa kuunneltavaa kattoon ropistessaan. Ukkosella toivoisin olevani mökillä, ihan peloissani.
Hi Merruli, and how true about the rain. I love it especially at night when I am tucked up in bed and listening to it through the open window. I believe I read somewhere that the Japanese plant large leaf plants around their houses for thet reason in particular..very theraputic. Here in the UK we have been rained out recently, but in past years we have had bans on using hose pipes for the garden and washing cars etc. We have had to accept that there is only so much to go around as we get less and less rainfall here in the south of the country.

Kylläpä kanttarellit ovat kauniita vaikken mausta välitäkään!
Minä en ole sieni-ihmisiä, mutta kanttarelleista tykkää, mausta sekä näöstä. Ja tryffelistä, mutta siihen ei kyllä ole varaa.
Alexis:It's nice to have you for a visit. I'm very flattered by your comment on my photos, thank you so much.
heidi:olen oppinut sietämään ukkosta, mutta mökki on viimeinen paikka, missä haluan ukonilmalla olla-liian pelottavaa. Ukkosen pelkoa olen joutunut työstämään etten tartuttaisi mokomaa tyttöihini, mutta täysin en ole siitä eroon päässyt.
The Fairy Glade, I agree, the sound of rain is soothing. That is very interesting what you wrote about the Japanese.
Violet:Sienistä löytyy melkoisia kaunottaria joskin kyllä sitä örkkilinjaakin on, kanttarellit todella sieltä kauneimmasta päästä.
Liivia:Minä en ole tainnut tryffeliä maistaakaan, selvä aukko ruokasivistyksessä, mutta metsäsienistä pidän kovin. Muut perheestä eivät jaa innostustani, joten kovin usein ei kannata sieniä kokkailla.
Minä en ole sieni-ihmisiä, mutta tuossa kuvassasi on kyllä kaunis sieni. Kanttarelliko se nyt oli? Aina oppii uutta :P
