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.
