Dry out already!
Wish I had pics to share, but we've had nothing
but wet cold gray rain for a week now. I'm grateful we're not dealing with the
severe flooding others are, but will be thrilled when we see the sun again! We
haven't harvested since Friday due to the downpours and cloud to ground
lightning but I'm hoping to salvage a decent tomato yield tonight or tomorrow
whenever the clouds break. Once the ground is workable again we'll try for a
fall planting of peas, mesclun, and broadcast seeded kale. It's late, but still
do-able.
The weather is creating
quite a bunch of grumps around this house, but I think the mood will improve
once the sun comes out. Gi doesn't seem to mind the rain much, as long as I
spend hours on the front porch with her. J, our next door neighbor, is bringing
his baby boy home from the hospital today...I was hoping we'd get out to buy
balloons, but instead I'm going to make a lasagna and some cookies to bring over
tonight.
The dismal weather has
allowed us to make major progress on emptying out our office/guest room which
will be the new baby's room. Almost everything is moved out and set up in the
office/living room- computer, sewing machine, etc. I bought some baskets with
grand plans to clean out my stash and organize it by color so we'll see if that
happens! Off to clean up the latest toddler mess.
