Still no garden planted. Too wet. We were under three miserable inches of rain this weekend. Last year it would have been a blessing — this year it's just increasingly annoying.
The forecast is for at least 3 days of sun though, so keep your fingers crossed for me.

The temperature dropped so low last night that the heat came on at 1:23 am. I know the time, because the smoke alarm was also roused (presumably just from dust). In the hour+ that it took me to fall back asleep, I wondered if I should create a "grab and go" drawer of important things that I wouldn't want to get burned up. I was secretly proud that my purse and cell phone had been within arm's reach. (But not my computer.)

ReplyDeleteOoh, thanks! I used to be on the mailing list for a similar page, but I think I'll like this one a lot better.
ReplyDeleteThis rain is really starting to bring me down. Hard to grasp saying that in Alabama. We actually considered firing up the wood burning stove last night. Again, hard to grasp saying that in Alabama. Will have to check out the words. I like words.
