rain

ok, so i got up early yesterday so i could water the planting beds and fill up the pond before the ambient temperature got up into the predicted 90's.....and it was not until i was tidying up the spent stems that the wind picked up.....and the thunder loomed closer and closer....and there came up such a storm that i unplugged the computer just in case.....yeah...it is plugged into a surge protector....but the storm was so very violent that unplugging stuff seemed prudent....fast forward to this very moment....when i had planned to head outside to wander my brick paths with my coffee.....it is again raining....i will not complain about this free source of sustenance for my precious plants......but i do wish it would take a break for the shortest of interludes......
