Warm temperatures and dry skies called us outside today. So much to do. After rain smashes into flowers, squishes dirt into mud, and blows leaves off trees a garden droops like a hobo's hair in a rain storm. But that's okay. Rain is good.
And so is getting outside under a bright low sun for an afternoon.
We didn't get it all done. The mums were dead-headed so that new buds could meet the sun. The patio was washed of leaves and mud. Lavender pruned. Wilted summer plants snipped back. Weeds pulled.
And Cassie pulled up the last of the tomato plants and began the work of putting the once bountiful vegetable garden to bed.
She had fun playing in the mud, can you tell?
Tomorrow we tackle - the carpet of leaves!
Before the rains return.
Like a game of cat and mouse.

We are supposed to get a ridiculous amount of rain all weekend, after our ridiculous amount of snow!
Last night the weatherman said we were supposed to get ridiculous amounts of rain but we didn't. It went to you guys. We're supposed to get quite wet tomorrow evening and night, though. We'll see. We've had tons of rain all week though. I like it. So far.
This is some storm!
Stay dry, WC. Don't let the weather win over your health, okay? As much as you can, anyway. Sometimes a cold just takes over no matter how you try to stop it.
Cat and mouse is right!
I'm so glad that we took advantage of our fair weather last weekend. This weekend it's spitting snow, and blowing 25mph.
Yeppir, cat and mouse sure sums it up well. Have given up trying to outsmart the rain. At least for this year. Looks like someone had fun getting her hands dirty!
Tshs: We got dumped on with rain yesterday. Whoo-ee! Glad we got our last minute gardening done when we did. Nice feeling, huh, to beat the weather. It ain't always so...
BJ: She DID enjoy getting her hands dirty, you got that right.
Your posts are poetry.
Thanks, Gardenia!!
That's an adorable picture of Cassie!
It is, isn't it, Sandy. Thanks!
