Again today

Sintra is a wonderful place to the people who like fog and rain.
Yes, it's raining again today.

It has rained quite a lot here. By what the metereologists showed in television, it was the same rain that went to England. We could aee that big swirl of clouds going around up to England and down again. Ours was not so strong and didn't cause floods because it was only the outskirts of the storm.
But not today or yesterday. We are having some truce so the fields can drain all that water.

A wet day

For a little moment, the rain stopped. But even so, everything was so wet, including the window.

Storm

Yesterday it rained so much, looked like all the sky and earth was going down.

I took this picture when I was taking one of my girls to school. Before I would take another one from school to take her home, I had to stop the car because it was tons of water falling down and we couldn't see a thing.

The day before it rained strongly too and we we expecting more for today but what happened was we woke up to a golden autumnal sun.

I like soooo much the rain but I was pleased with the sun because I was afraid of the result of that amount of water pouring down.

Let's see what tomoeow will bring to us.

Flowers of the Ramalhão

Some branches are already empty of leaves and, at the same time, we still have flowers.
Taken at the garden of Quinta do Ramalhão, a convent school belonging to the Dominican Order, where my older daughters studied and my little one still is.

For Today's Flowers.
