Happy Place, Happy Space
Rain. Nip out when it stopped. Tread gingerly for fear of tripping, sliding, falling. Above, the sun tried.
Singapore Botanic Gardens: my go-to for a quick run
It has been a rainy few weeks. Nothing like the storms that rage around the world, like on the coast of Maine as reported by Laurie. Thinking of those whose lives have been ravaged by these storms. Stay safe, everyone.

The rain helps us to appreciate the breaks. We’re having a pretty gray wet period right now.

Lovely grasses Ju-Lyn 🙂 I hope the rain stops soon. Here in the UK we’ve had a very cold spell followed by two storms in quick succession off the Atlantic, but it’s looking better for later this week, thankfully. Meanwhile I’ve been writing about one of my happy places: https://www.toonsarah-travels.blog/fulfilling-a-promise-a-short-walk-in-paris/

Thanks so much for your kind words and concern. Maine got hit pretty hard during the last two storms.
