Today, instead of normal rain, we had a thunderstorm.
A thunderstorm. Ukkosmyrsky.

Today, instead of normal rain, we had a thunderstorm.
Hmmmm, I mean I´m sleeping in the rain.
It is coldest summer in twenty years. The sky is like a gray blanket above houses. The nature seems to like it, lots of water and sometimes a warm day. Everything is so green and all the flowers blossom.
We have many magpies living in your garden. This one, born in spring, is very talkative. It sits on a top of a tree and imitates our speech.
We have seen the sun today!
Yes, the temperature at nights has been now under 0°C/ 32°F twice. This is very strange, like the whole spring. Last winter we had not much snow, the spring was cold and rainy and two weeks late. Some birds just visited us and turned back to warmer areas. Thirty years ago we have had as cold June as now. In the daytime in July is has been about 20°C/ 68°F.
Many flowers and trees didn´t blossom at all, but this lily, in Finnish the name is shadow lily, Lilium Martagon, is in full glamour.
How much you pay for your gasoline? Here is our prices in euros for a litre. One gallon is 3,785 litres, one litre is 0,264 US gallons.
And thank you for answering with a Midsummer rose, who decided to blossom now.
After a rainy and cold days, the temperature is now +25°C/ 77°F. These warm winds made our lilac tree blossom, I have never seen it so full of flowers as now. I am sorry I can´t have the odour in the photos. Our garden is like a perfumery.
