Wet kittens...

As we call these in Finland: the kittens of a willow.

It has been raining for two days now, which is very nice. It is cleaning the air from all the street dust, which we have a lot... It is because in the winter we need winter tires, and additionally add gravel/sand on the streets to keep them getting very slippery. When the snow and ice are gone, the gravel/sand remains until it is brushed/washed away. In tbe sunny and windy days we get quite a lot of dust flying in the air. Makes breathing sometimes quite hard, and gets to your eyes, too. So, even me, the sun lover, appreciate the rain right now!
