Rain, rain, go a-...rain, rain...

It rained and thundered for about 24 hours, and now it's just raining. I find it hard to do anything but sleep when it's raining and thundering, but not really storming.

When I went downstairs to start the car--Surprise! The basement's as dry as a bone. Wonders never cease, unless you're expecting one.

Last spring, I swore off trying to make a vegetable garden. "But was I sober when I swore?" Yesterday on TV, I saw a guy make a vegetable garden in less than 3 minutes: wooden frame set on concrete, plastic sheet in the bottom, layer of newspaper on the plastic, soil and compost on the newspaper, plants 2" deep, scatter soil over seeds, water lightly, done! Yeah.
