Wet Earth

It finally rained yesterday after a long dry spell. Finally! The water reserves in Puglia were so low that the water supply to households was being rationed. It's a pleasure to see the dark wet earth. And more rain is predicted for today and tomorrow...
But, how's a cat to keep his tail dry?

Love the smell of wet soil! Hope the water reserve level is higher now. The 1st one is a very cool photo!

I love this cats colouring! do you know what kind of kitty it is?

He has a sweet face too. We are getting some excellent rain now as well, but they haven't removed the water use restrictions just yet.

we have had such a long warm dry spell in autumn that we have forgotten that summr is over...

jm - it's still raining so I hope the reserves are filling back up!

Lucia, Ann, Hilda, Elaine - that's my kitty, Tigro. He was a stray and I don't know what type he is, but he sure is cute!
