Re: today in the garden

Sounds like you had a lovely day!   I am too - it's been drizzling all day
here.  Hasn't done that since time out of mind.  No great accumulation
(about 3/4") but marvelous just the same.  Just went for a stroll out back
w/ a glass of vino and was like being in a temperate rain forest (albeit w/
tropical humidity).  Was a wonderful change of pace this has been.  Been
reading (and de-cluttering) all day, no hoses to move.  What a blessing.
Sugar is not impressed, but oh well - ya can't have everything.  LOL
