Wet, Wet, Wet

I'm beginning to think my back garden will never dry out. Though it only rains occasionally with the odd heavy downpour creating a temporary aquatic scene ...

.. it never seems to dry out. The lawn is sodden and walking across it leaves muddy footprints. The only ones enjoying it are the Blackbirds taking advantage of the worms and grubs driven to the surface.

There is an old hanging basket behind my garden clock. It rarely receives any direct sunlight so the Echeveria growing in it are being swamped by the moss which loves those conditions:

At least we are ice and snow free at the moment (whispered quietly so as not to tempt providence).

  1. Gosh your lawn does look wet! Very damp and miserable here too. Love the moss photos - there are so many miniature worlds in your garden you can discover :)

    1. RR: Unfortunately my back garden is lower that the surrounding area so heavy rain tends to run offin my direction.

    1. Glo: Very squelchy indeed and still growing! Not whispered low enough as the pools of water down this lane have been frozen over these past two mornings.
