RAIN STOPPED FOR 45 MINUTES!

Another terrible day, managed to get out at 10am when the rain stopped for 45 minutes and the sun came out briefly. I suddenly noticed the deer quickly  lay down, I think to get out of the wind. Just got in the door when the rain came down, so heavy that it was running out of the gutters, and it has not stopped since.
Just waiting for my car to come back as it was in for a service, just hope it does not need much done. Fingers  crossed.
My extra was going to be my blip as I did not think I would get out today. It is a clematis bud that thinks it is spring.
