Nature in the form of sweet peas, battered by some of the heaviest rain I have ever seen. It went on for ages and there was thunder and lightening to go with it. There were huge puddles on the roads as I was driving home, and people were recklessly speeding through them!
Also nature in the form of a little frog. Brought out by the rain and chased by Cassie, then rescued by me. I think he was alright-just a bit stunned. He managed to jump back into the pond from my hand and hide away under a rock. I love frogs and have no worries about picking them up. I could not do this with a spider but I can with a worm or a snail. I don't mind slimy things but am a bit scared of scuttley things!
I found out today that the Tamil alphabet has 247 characters and 12 vowels. How does anyone ever remember all those?! Having just read a bit of this wikipedia page, assuming it is right, there are thirty one letters and 216 combinant letters making a total of 247. It looks beautiful-lovely elegant shapes.

thats a hell of a lots of characters in one language!
I think you got the thunder and lightning we were promised! We still haven't had a proper downpour (I'll probably regret that later . . . )
I like Rosebud:-)I hope your sweet peas survive - plants are usually very resilient, aren't they?
You're right, the Tamil alphabet is beautiful but how does anyone ever read it??
Ooh what a sweet frog! We see them a lot at our house. I love it when they attach themselves to the door!
