We're getting a light drizzle of rain at this moment and I'm happy to
see it. If the weather heads are correct this should go on the rest of
the week. It's been awhile since we had a decent soaking rain. A
couple of down pours hit us about five minutes on a couple of days
this past week and that helped some but a good drizzle is much better.

Gardens are doing their job, picking tomatoes, cukes, sweet chilies,
bunching onions and the kumquat tree is full of flowers. The spring
lettuce is going crazy and will be pulled and composted soon. The
squash in our garden is blooming but no fruit as yet. May not be any
pollinators around just yet.

Grass needs mowing front and back but it's to wet to do so at this
time. Spent a little time pulling weeds and other things out of the
grass in the back, the front yard had turned mostly brown due to lack
of rain but appears to be perking up now.

Pear tree is looking good and we have discovered at least three fruit
on it after it was defoliated by the January freezes. That's okay as
we had a bumper crop last year.

We've been getting some intermittent rain ... too bad some of it is
of the frog-strangler variety . Some slow soaking rains though , and my
garden is loving it . The field peas and okra are doing well , the
'maters and peppers maybe not so much . I suspect that once they (the
m's and p's) get well rooted they'll explode .
