at last!

Nad, you might get some from this
one (if you are between Port Huron
and Detroit) . !!!

looks good for later tonight too
for more (but i won't believe it
until i hear it on the roof).

it was a perfect day to be out
trimming a field and spreading it
around (for green manure). i had
just finished most of it and had
only a little to go and the first
sprinkles came down, hmm, i say,
so i finish the last bit i could
get done, wrap the cords up and
get the trimmer in. stops sprinkling.
of course. so i go back out and
spread the trimmings around and
pack a large bin (so i can feed
the worm farm tomorrow morning) and
used a bunch on the new rhubarb patch
to give them some cover and more
worm food.

took the hose out there and
gave the whole area a good soaking
as the clay was heavily cracked
and i wanted to get the dry stuff
wetted down to keep it from blowing.
then i went and rinsed out the bird
baths and got the bean patch watered.

nice to have a cloudy cooler day
to get out there and get it done.
last time i was out chopping last
week i had sweat dripping off my nose
so fast i had a trail.

now i can hear the tomatoes singing
in happiness from getting some real
rain for a change. the cherry tomatoes
are just now starting to turn.
