Rain

This is some of the heaviest rain I have seen today, it is actually reaching half way down the covered deck at the front of the house, getting blown in by the stormy winds. I hope the kids have made it safely back to their friends on their bikes or they going to be very wet indeed. The sound of it battering down on the steel roof gives a very cozy feeling though, but the silly chickens, or at least some of them, thought it was fun to stand out in the rain. I quickly shooed them in to the shed and locked them in. It is quite mild though, and spring is definitely here now. I expect to see the last throes of winter over the next week then spring to totally blossom. The plants are blooming and the peach blossom in the garden is lovely.
