It’s Raining It’s Pouring

Ahhhh rain, lovely sweet, wet, cool rain :-) We finally got some earlier this week (Monday to be exact). I didn’t know it was forecast nor did I notice the sky turn a little darker, but all of a sudden I heard it against the window. The wind had also picked up a bit too. A minute after it started Kristen and Connor came downstairs and said they were going out front to ride their bikes! “It’s raining” I said. They hadn’t even noticed. But they went out anyway, and I headed out too with my camera.

Kristen ran back inside to get her umbrella!

Boo doesn’t like the rain, he’d walk out in it and just as quickly turn around and run back.

He still wanted to do what most dogs do though . . . sniff the grass then make his mark! So Kristen assisted by holding the umbrella over him :-)

Who knows when it will rain again? We still have a lot of summer left I think. Ten minutes after this down pour the sun was out shining again! But thanks for letting me share some more outdoor (Wednesday) fun ;-)

Hop on over to Susan’s blog for Outdoor Wednesday and see who else is participating.

Mikki said...

Love it!!
My dog doesn't like the rain either.. he'll skirt the side of the house all the way around to avoid getting wet. LOL

I love rain. My dogs HATE rain. I swear they don't want to get their feet wet when they go outside!

I remember one day when I was about 12 years old--we had one of those all-day summer rains, and my cousins and I just played out in it for hours. It was great!

We have had rain like that all summer long..it's thundering and poring outside right now! So unusual for us, it's dry here but not this summer or should I say the 2 weeks of summer that we have had..now fall in on it's way..it's been one crazy weather year! ;D

I am so glad you finally got a little rain, when it rains and it's overcast, it reminds me so much of my days in England. I can see why you enjoy it so much. Although I am sure it can make one a bit homesick. I love days like that, just not all in row. :) As I am typing this, we are getting more rain. Our weather has been overcast and dreary for the last several days. But I have enjoyed it immensely.
Looks like Kristin enjoyed herself too. :)

Hope your having a wonderful week so far.
Hugs,
Cindy

Good for you! I am glad the rain finally came! Carla

Melanie said...

She is so cute holding the umbrella over Boo while he does his business. Sounds like Bit. He doesn't like the wet either. Spoiled dogs is what I say!

sadie said...

glad you finally got a bit of rain :o) Our weather is still mixed, but I'm not complaining. Yesterday was blustery and grey, but I took a chance and managed to get a quilt dried outside on the washing line! I had to watch the rolling grey cloud like a hawk though!

Have a good Thursday. Hope the rain has cooled the air down for you. :O) x

Linda said...

Oh how wonderful it must be to get summer rain....not here though.

Melissa Miller said...

Isn't rain the best when we need it? We had rain yesterday all day long. Awesome! Cute photos! ;)

Unknown said...

Stella said...

We certainly could use some rain here. The grass is burned to a crisp and the flowers are gasping in our 90 - 100 heat. It looks like playing in the rain made for a fun afternoon for everyone. Great photos. Stella

Kimberly said...

I love when it rains!!
Thanks for stopping over today. Nate Berkus is from the Oprah show. Do you ever watch Oprah? He is a interior designer.

Gigi said...

Oh D, it looks like you guys had so much fun enjoying your rain. I'm so jealous! I can't even remember the last time it rained here ;-(. All I seem to do is drag the water hose around the yard lately. Come on fall!!!

Kimberly said...

thanks for stopping by today! come see me when your daughter leaves. Its hard!! very hard....:<(

Darylynn said...

Our dogs are like that, too. Don't really want to go out in the rain. Oh, I see Kimberly mentioning Nate Berkus- love, love, love him and he will have his own show starting in September. He is soooo cute and sweet. Yet another show spawned from Oprah like Dr Phil and Dr. Oz. Hope you're enjoying the weekend! (((Hugz)))

lol - Love it - poor puppy - love his little jacket :D You knit it? So I'm curious to know if you are originally from Liverpool? I'm a Lancashire lass but because you say Mam instead of Mum you remind me of my cousins in Liverpool - just curious :D
