Rain drops streak down the patio doors to the terrace,
which wait
locked shut - longing for spring.
The washing machine shudders to a halt
with another load that certainly won't see the washing line - it'll have to hung it up on the on the 'dolly' in the kitchen!
Water drops fall from a gutter unable to cope.
In the drive,
puddles gorge themselves on yet more rain drops
which
gang together to catch out those brave enough - or foolish enough
...to venture out!
We wait
longing for the days of summer
with games and barbeques
maybe a 'Pimms' or three!
Almost lake like
the lawn is now unable to absorb any more rain
and now has huge oceans forming across it - should we get the dingy out?
And still it rains.
The dreams of a Sunday morning
trimming the shrubs
mowing the lawns
then
after lunch
taking tea - have simply been washed away
by all this rain!
