Finally.....

{image from here}

After many weeks of a storm being forecast and never arriving, we awoke to rain this morning. J'adore la pluie!

I adore the sound and the smell of rain, there is nothing nicer after weeks of heat and dust.

It is indeed liquid sunshine, for me anyway.

Bonne journee/soiree depending on when you are in the world....

  6. It's like waiting for a sneeze, and then it finally, graciously comes to your relief. Except, of course, the rain is refreshing and a sneeze is degeulasse!

  7. Dear Fabulously French, here in the South of Brazil it is freezing!!! So cold and wet. It has been raining for two looong weeks. It is winter and it is so good to sew, drink a cup of hot vanilla tea and eat chocolate!!!
    Enjoy your French pluie while I am enjoying my constant chuva.
    XOXOXOX. Bela.

  14. Hi Leeann,

    I know the joy of having rain after a dry and hot spell.
    We had some glorious rain last night and the boxwood topiarys are looking lush and green.

  15. I think I would much prefer the rain in Paris to the downpours we had for the past 2 days in Buenos Aires.
