Although, perhaps, our drought wasn't quite as long as yours and, then, it's just been beautifully steady rain - not quite the flood of epic proportions that I've been hearing about from you all. but, it's wonderful how things green up! =D<br /><br />In February, I was observing how I hated the rainy days - I felt so depressed. I was worried - what was wrong with me? Usually, I love a rain storm. What was wrong was that, apparently, it needs to be an APRIL shower - absolutely lovely! =]<br /><br />but, you've put it all so well with your own words. I'm just nodding my head in agreement with mine.<br /><br />I love forget-me-nots but have never had a chance to grow them in my own garden. I have three packets of seeds by my side, at this very moment. I so hope they work!!! It's a bit early for us, still, though.

I work in a school and it's hard for the children as it always seems to chuck it down as soon as it's break and lunch time, which means we're all stuck inside. But, hey!

I enjoy the sound and smell of rain but could do with dry days to plant up my seedlings and hubby wants to cut a hedge but won't use the electric trimmer while it's wet. I wonder why!!<br /><br />We have forget-me-nots in our garden which have all self-seeded and the little front area of our church is a carpet of blue.

We need it and we've had two really dry winters. Everything looks so lush after a good rainfall, and the smell of wet earth and soaking pavements is really rather lovely! I think maybe i'm in the minority on this so maybe i'll quit whilst i'm ahead! ha ha!<br /><br />The forget-me-nots are so beautiful.
