Rainy Days

We have had a cool and rainy spring this year. The summer so far looks to be more of the same. A couple of nice warm days but the forecast is for cooler temperatures (even lows in the 40sF at night, eep!)

This is great weather for transplanting as the baby plants don't have to face the shock of hot dry weather while they're stretching out new roots in all directions. The flip side is that many of them seem to be waiting for the warm sunny weather to really start putting on growth.

At least the columbines I started from seed last year survived the winter and are blooming prolifically!

This is the kind of weather where a person can leave all their windows open day and night, bake pies with abandon, curl up with a good book and a mug of hot tea, and be pleasantly comfortable the entire time. (Not having a need to run either the furnace or the air-conditioning is another advantage to mild weather.)

I'm contemplating whether to take some time for myself and read, or stitch, or start a new knitting or crochet project; or whether to tackle the start of doing an inventory on the bits and bobs I have in my pantry and linen closet and such.

Such terrible decisions, hah!
