Lady's Mantle with raindrops.

The Feast Day of Mother Mary's Assumption into Heaven.

National Relaxation Day.

The Catholic Church has celebrated this marvellous miracle for many generations. My favourite telling of the story is given to us by Blessed Anne Catherine Emerich, who has not as yet been proclaimed a Saint. Google if you want more information.

Well, from about 8am the beautiful refreshing rain has returned here and is pouring down in generous amounts. I treasure the usefulness of the rain and am grateful for it. A drought is dreadful, as is a heatwave. The grass is green and the water butt is filling up again. Hunter and Holly are indoors, accepting the fact we want to keep both of them safe from harm, cold and wet weather. Poor Hunter doesn't really like being indoors. It is for his best health and safety.

I hope you are enjoying your Thursday.
