Please Bring Rain

Today is the first day of summer. Anyone would think it was the last day of winter. It is cloudy with a very cold brisk south-east wind blowing. But yay…… We had a little bit of rain this morning.
I was out walking the Taylor River Tracks with Fergus and was tempting fate by carrying an umbrella with me. I kept watching the clouds build up over the hills to the south and hoping they carried some rain. Just as I turned to walk back to the vehicle the rain began and I was grateful for my wind-jacket and umbrella.
We could do with a lot more rain but every shower is useful at present…whether or not it is summer…….
