When did I move to the Tropics?

... for surely the rain has been falling hard enough and thoroughly enough at times to remind me of some days when I lived in Hong Kong :(

L said just now that there's a forecast that we might be seeing a break in the rain starting on Sunday. I'll believe it when I see it.

Meanwhile, some of my potatoes can't drain well enough and are doing poorly. If we get a break in the rain today, we should get some hay and dirt to throw on top of them -- if they can survive long enough they might be able to start roots further up the stems and get above the soaking wet.

Might also be worth thinking about potting those rhubarb...

*sigh*

Well, could be worse. I could be living out there with them. So, housecleaning and re-org, and maybe even some sewing. My sore ribs and shoulders (staff work) and knees are relatively grateful for lighter duty as well today!

And you didn't have to send it up to us - where it's been 'sitting' for over a week and doesn't look like moving on! :(

But you are right - it could be worse and we might not have a roof over us. We should be grateful for that; I am.

That's the strange thing about this weather, isn't it -- how it keeps hanging on. If we ever get to cut the field, the hay out there is going to be mighty coarse stuff... we haven't had three days in a row of good weather in what, a month?

Ooo! I think it isn't raining at the moment -- need to put some hay on those potatoes!

I'm thankful for friends too, and being able to 'talk' to them even when we're all far apart :)

WHAT? I thought Saturday was supposed to be better.

Depends on where you are I expect. Yesterday it was horrid and grey up here all day, but down in Amherst they only had rain in the morning and then had sunshine.
