Wet weekend

rain
I didn't think the rain was ever going to stop! The prospect of a weekend in the garden after a few days of rain turned into a Saturday watching TV and a Sunday working in the wetness.
Still, a moist garden in spring is such a nice thing -- it can be so beautiful!
Moisture is nice, but I'm looking forward to a few hours working in a relatively dry garden this week.
(You can actually see my reflection in some of these larger water droplets if you look closely!)
Looks like a crazy weather week again, with temps getting to 85ºF (29ºC) Tuesday, then getting cold again at the end of the week and lows possibly down into the 30's F. Rain again when it cools off too. Great.

So beautiful! I can't tell you how much I want some of that rain. Here in Northern California we're pretty much done with the rain until October or November. Our rainfall total since the beginning of our water year (July 1st) has been 15". Yep, 15 inches. That's 25% less than normal.
We're on a roller coast this year too, sadly, temps in the 80 this week...and we've only had a drop of rain the past week or so. I've actually had to water new plantings...WTF!
Gerard - I think we've had 15 inches this month! No joke.
Alan - again, stunning pictures! Just gorgeous!
