Where is the rain?

Yumiko brought this beautiful hydrangea the other day for Ashley - lovely soft pink/purple flowers.

They are the most common flowers in June in Japan as June is usually the rainy season. But NOT this year tho... I think we had only 2 days of rain since they officially announced Osaka being in the rainy season in late May.

We are having this perfect blue sky pretty much everyday. It is nice to have some sunshine but having 34-36 degrees in June is just crazy!



I hope we get some rain soon - the plants in my garden are very thirsty...
