One of the most beautiful and poetic ideas, the smell of rain, on any surface. Apparently, our smell is geared toward picking up the smell of rain, we can identify it among so many other smells. I wrote a poem about it many years ago. I love petrichor. Thank you so much for your wonderful prose.
Not all clouds cry, some build castles above,
These are such beautiful images you created with words.
Thanks for kind comment, feelings of joy show through when rains arrive, Oh boy we needed this break from scorching heat of late!
Same here. But we have yet to see any substantial rains. It is not rainy season yet, but some rain would help! Everything is so dried out, and wild fires are causing so many problems.
Summer has been a roller-coaster ride between extreme heat with short breather in between, very little rain, whacking thunderstorms.
Weekend weather.... 34C for Durban tomorrow plus 4C for humidity we will be close to 40C YIKES!
We felt this heat for sure. I sit in an office with direct sunlight, so I felt the heat in all the wrong ways!
Sitting in direct sun not a great idea during summer even under an aircon..... Change the seating perhaps 🙃
It is so strange as a writer I find certain spots where my writing just happens. Unfortunately, this room was one of the rooms that the ideas seemed to naturally flow from. But I need to change a bit yes.
Moon and mood the writing flow, fright and flight we stagnate in freeze off!
