we enjoyed the rain too...



it was good to get some rain over the weekend. it was even better to see the kids run outside with their rain pants and rain coats, boots and lots of buckets. the water had to be collected, i don't really know why but there was lots of work involved and they loved the work. with a big hose to trumpet and blow air into the water, make fountains and what ever idea struck them. i'm glad for the moments, when rain and a free afternoon fall together.
all the hard rain was hard on the blossoms, i hope the bees worked hard enough during the past week.
toward the later part of the afternoon, after the rain has been enjoyed the kids stormed in, shared an afternoon snack (rhubarb galette) and lots of reading and playing.
