投稿の詳細: 夏らしい日　A summer day.

お盆の一日目。
朝お墓参りをして迎え火を焚く。
日差しは相変わらず肌にさす
様につよく、空気は熱い。

午前中畑の草刈り。暑さで喉が
乾く。時折珍しく風が吹いて
胸の辺りが楽になる。雲も
広がっている。それにしても暑い。

午後3時くらいまでは暑かったが、
遠く雷が聞こえ始める。どうやら
天気予報の通りに雨が来るのか。

午後5時頃夕立ちなのか、スコール
の様な激しい雨。ライトをつけて
走っている車が多い。大分暗い。

そのまま夜になり、やや小降りに
なりかけてはまた雨脚が強くなる
のを何度か繰り返した。

今年はこんな土砂降りが多い。
明日もこんな天気らしい。

First day of Obon. I went to
the cemetery to pray for the
family ancestors and burnt dry
wood bark of which light and fume is
considered to show the way to the
sprits to come back home.
The sun shines strongly and the air
is hot.

I went to a vineyard for mowig with
a hand held mower with engine. I became
very thirsty soon due to the heat.
But today I felt breeze which cooled down
the body a little bit and I found the sky
with more gray clouds than usual.

It was very hot until around 3pm when
I started hearing thunder from far away.
It would be raining as weather forecast.

It stared raining very heavily
at around 5pm like a tropical shower.
As it was so dark that many cars were running
with the lights on.

In the evening, it continued to rain sometimes
just a bit but soon very heavily.

We have had such sudden heavy rain falls this year.
It will be like this tomorrow again.
