Sunshine and showers

We had some very welcome showers again on Monday bringing a drop more welcome rain. The showers were most frequent in the afternoon with a couple of them accompanied with thunder and lighting. Sowing and weeding on the plot in the afternoon had to be halted several times as we took shelter in our shed from the worst of the showers.
Sunny periods for most of the day
It was a matter of fitting sowing, planting and weeding around the showers. Most of the afternoon was sunny and mild but it was easy to see the showers approaching in the shape of dark clouds.
Heavy showers clouds
The showers didn't last long and the soil was workable as soon as the rain stopped. The showers to date in May mean that May's total rainfall is about as expected after the two previous very dry months.
