It rained last night! Just over an inch! (At this point people from non-desert non-drought areas are probably either being patronizing or amused.) It's amazing how much cleaner and greener everything smells after a good rain.
Unfortunately our house doesn't have rain gutters (they're on my "someday" wishlist, along with rain barrels or perhaps a cistern). And unfortunately the overhang of the roof is somewhat shallower than my potting bench, so when I checked on them this morning some of my seed-starting flats had had the soil splashed clean out of them. Clean, I say, but that meant the bench was covered in black mud. :( Fortunately it wasn't raining when I got home so I was able to get things cleaned up and put soil back around the walking onion sprouts.
After dinner, I spent some time working on making up seed mats, but discovered that I have no idea where my bottle of Elmer's Glue is! Grr. However, I did get a peach/blueberry pie baked, using up the peaches which were starting to go off, and a couple cups of formerly frozen berries to make up the difference in volume. It looks good, but we'll see how it tastes tomorrow. Even though certain people think that I'm good at making pies, I'm still working on the fine and venerable art of crust crimping. Tonight I think I made progress. ^_^
