Rain in Summer..
How beautiful is the rain!
After the dust and the heat,
In the broad and fiery street,
In the narrow lane,
How beautiful is the rain!
~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
The evening skies are still heavy with rain clouds.
It's difficult to garden in the rain, so I spend time gazing at the flowers and dreaming .......
Watching the Clematis soaking up a Summer shower...
Dreaming how the rock fence would look planted in English flowers...
Imagining a quaint thatched cottage awaiting it's visitors......

Oh Jo, what a beautiful trip to take before bedtime.
Shucks, Jo... We didn't get much rain today... It sprinkled and threatened to rain most of the day--but we never did get anything heavy.. Guess it went all around us this time!!!!! Oh Well!!!
Love the pictures --especially the Clematis.
Hugs,
Betsy
Lovely!
Ahh so pretty.
Like your pics.
Blessing,

I think I can go to sleep now. That was a beautiful walk through an enchanted garden!
You are so lucky to have rain in summer. We get nothing but drought for over 3 months and then, when it rains for thefirst time, the ground just soaks it up.
Jo, I love the garden statue and have you ever noticed HOW Tennessee has those rock walls everywhere? Lovely morning tour!

As a fellow Brit I thought that I would never say this... I miss the rain! Send some over to California. I can't remember the last time it rained here. Maybe 2 months ago for about a minute! A beautiful post. You have me thinking about planting Clematis now

I enjoy your charming blog very much!
Raindrops are falling on my head too! My flowers are "smiling" though!☺
I can't tell you how thrilled I am to come across your blog! Your pictures are absolutely lovely.

Pastor Sharon: An Enchanted
Garden..what a lovely thought.
Loree: I love rain, and I never complain because it is raining, I suppose it reminds me so much of home.
Carol: Yes, it's one of the things I love about TN, the rock walls ARE everywhere.
Clare: Hello, nice to meet you. Maybe try a little rain dance, or wash your car, then maybe it will rain ;)
Tammy: Hello ! Glad to meet you and your flowers are enjoying the rain :)
Sunny: Always nice to meet a fellow countryman :)
I've been to your hometown, Cornwall several times on holiday :)
Such calming and lovely photos. All this rain we've had in TN this year has made lots of flowers bloom, plants grow, and grass mowed.
Happy Twirls
I am relaxed, a good way call it a night. Beautiful post Jo.
