Summer rain

It rains here a lot and that's why we everything is so lush and amazingly green.

Unfortunately it rained a little too much yesterday.  It rained nearly 80mm in an hour and that meant water everywhere - in the metro tunnels, in the underground shopping malls and in basements.  Some poor people even had sewerage water coming up from toilets and basements!  Yuk!!  Luckily we escaped all that!

Not only does it rain a lot here we get amazing thunder and lightening as well.  It booms and cracks while lighting up the night sky.  The other morning was an amazing show of nature's fury.  But before the rain and storm the air gets thick and heavy.  The humidity is quite intense but it does wonders for creating curl! 

All this rain also means there's no need to water any of the large garden.  Yippee!  It's amazing to see what pops up as it gets warmer and I was so excited when I realised what this lovely bush was.


They're peonies!  There are so many buds and I can't wait to see them open and bring them in the house.  I wonder what colour they'll be?
