RAIN RAIN GO AWAY COME AGAIN ANOTHER DAY

 I have never known it to rain so much in May and June. They are usually the cold, dry months but now they are the wet, warm months. My regular morning walks with friends are becoming now and then walks due to the rain. We don't like to walk in the rain as it becomes slippery underfoot. We can't afford to fall at our age. Every morning I get up and look out the window to see if it is wet and rainy. More often than not this is what I see.

When the rain eases I walk down our street, my neighbour has a nice garden.

The poinciana catching the rain.

The rain encourages fungi.

When the rain eases we sneak out for a walk. We don't have many autumn trees in Brisbane, which is in the sub tropics, but we have one in our street.

Every Tuesday evening six of us play cards at Dot and Peter's home. After cards we have supper but when one of us has a birthday Dot provides a mini birthday cake. Last week it was Anne's birthday. She was 88 and still as fit and bright as ever. She is my role model. The other lady is Louise, my next door neighbour.
