Once upon a time, I couldn't have guessed rain would become so exciting. But oh yes it is. All week the planting has been plodding along, looking forward to the promised rain today. Such a wet winter followed by such a dry spring. 

No sooner had the last scheduled CSA member gone and the last Sun Gold tomato seedling been transplanted... the clouds opened!  And the goats hollered... they had been clearing honeysuckle around the chicken house & couldn't get into their own house. The neighbors down the hill must have thought there was a slaughter going on. 

Knee high rubber boots are almost my favorite fashion accessory this spring. At last.
