I got up at about 6:30 this morning. The weather is clear. I walked my dog as a matter of routine.
My house is 15 minutes' drive away from the center of the city, but is surrounded by greenery. My hometown is about 500,000 in population and is not such a big city. The scenery in the morning around here is very beautiful. I've no words for describing it, especially after the rain in the leafy month of June. The weather forecast I heard last night was saying, "It will rain tomorrow morning. The chance of rain is 70% in the morning." I expected a lot of rain because we, the citizens of Matsuyama city, are short of water. However the rain seemed to stop very early in the morning.
I'm afraid of what will happen this summer.
