Rain Today

Raining today, so I was only able to move 2 wheel barrels of mulch today. I'm not complaining because we really need the rain. I've set up another trashcan in the front garden to collect rain water. I'll keep the lid on it during the summer to prevent mosquitoes from breeding. These "rain cans" make it easy to water plants without having to pull out the waterhose. This one is a RubberMaid can found on clearance - the best way to buy things!

Happy 4th of July, Even in the Rain

Happy 4th of July everyone! I'm doing the "happy dance" at my home today, and not because it's a holiday. No, no, no - I'm happy because it is RAINING! And before anyone gets too upset about the rain dampering my holiday, the rain showers are a welcome event in my gardens.

It has been over a week since we had a good rain shower and my gardens were beginning to show the effects. Luckily Mother Nature is taking care of the problem so I don't have to break out the water hose.

Anyway, the rain should be over by tonight, even though my hometown had our fireworks display last night - in the rain!
