Rain!

Over a week, it was very nice, hot weather. The hot weather had also a disadvantage: dryness. But! Today there was rain! 


First, I sat down under the marquise of our summerhouse, enjoying the freshness and scent of that great rainwater. I saw snails and earthworms coming out of their hiding places, and I was astonished about all those little wonders of nature, all living in my own garden. I saw spiders, using leaves like we use umbrellas.

Then the rain stopped for a while and I stood up to give all of this small animals a closer look. I  took some photos, which I'd like to share.

The snails were very pleased with the rain:
