Rain, lots of rain

Now it's our turn to get the rain. And lots of it. Vertical and diagonal.

What can you do than wait it out?

I tried to capture the rain through our wavy glass windows.

A hummingbird took a shelter under the roof of our porch for a few minutes.

Of course - we have to eat.
What about a hearty soup? asked my husband.
Well, that was easily done within 20 minutes.

Ingredients:
2 cups of water
2 tblsp instant bullion
1 large carrot
2 stalks of celery
some beans and peas
1 broccoli flower
2 cooked potatoes
2 slices of ham (optional, or chicken pieces)
1/2 cup bacon (optional)
1/2 onion
salt, pepper
1 tsp vinegar
Simmer the diced vegetables for about 10 minutes, add potato cubes.
Fry bacon, ham and onion and add this to the soup right before serving.
