jennlkSo I was going to work in the garden today. Except that it rained. All day (OK, from at least 0645 (when I first woke up) to well after noon). I went out to get groceries this morning, and there were a pair of slugs chugging along the driveway -- don't usually see them on the asphalt.
And then, fortunately after J got home on his bike, it stormed, hard. With Hail. And not just little bitty bits of ice. Golf ball sized. Not round either. Water in the pond was splashing 6-8 inches up between the hail and the rain. The kids went out and scavenged big bits of hail -- DB even went out while there was still (small) hail falling to grab a really big one. SR found one shaped a bit like a (Peeps style) bunny. J took pictures.
The ditch in front of the house (which usually doesn't have any water in it except during melt when the culverts are still frozen) was full of water, and the pond is overflowing. Yesterday, I was thinking that I might want to put some more water into the pond. That won't be necessary.
So maybe I'll get into the garden tomorrow.
