More Rain!

Well, May sloshed its way into history.  We had a few hours of nice weather this afternoon.  Angel and I dashed out into it and did some yard work.  Then we went to (our opinion) the best place in town for pizza (I can count no fewer than five pizza places here in this tiny village at the Edge of the continent).  Our favorite place is actually a complete Italian restaurant that also offers pizza.  But I digress.

I played some guitar this evening while I listened to the weather worsen back into the latest wave of rain and wind.  Our garden is very wet at this point.  What began as a gift of lots of water for our vegetables is now getting worrisome. At least the warmer weather and gentle breeze dried things out slightly before this latest wave hit.

OTOH, my chile plant in the greenhouse seems to be thriving.  The pot is large, so today I added a "Lipstick Red" bell pepper and an unknown bell pepper from some of last year's seeds.  There are three little chile plants.  I wish I had more hot chilies, but I know that I should focus my attention on making those I already have succeed.

Angel ordered some small fruit trees.  They should show up RSN.  Their new homes are ready.  Tonight at dinner we realized that we are close to turning the corner from "yard looks like a messy disaster" to "that's a pretty nice yard."  Of course there's lots more to go.  Still, it's good to see real progress.

The forecast calls for rain tomorrow, partly cloudy on Thursday, and more rain on Friday.  I hope we get some sun soon!!!
