I couldn't work on the gardens yesterday or today!!! why is this good news, you ask? [View all]

Because it is RAINING!!!!!!!!!!! we are in serious drought here (so serious that the idiots at utilities FINALLY got around to watering restrictions this year), so, believe me, every single drop of rain helps. The waldo canyon burn scar is under flood warning, but, so far, things are calm. AND, it is RAINING--a nice, gentle, rain that the trees, and plants, and grasses, are happily drinking in.
