Today I raced the weather to finish mowing and decided to get out the trimmer as well. I used that to hit the tall grass in the keyhole garden so it isn't quite such a conspicuous mess. I finished planting three of the tomato plants but didn't have time to spread mulch or put out the cages before the sky opened and proceeded to be a line of storms sliding across us. Though the storms were moving toward the Northeast, the line itself did a "train car" routine,staying over the top of us and each hot spot in the string hit us in sequence for about five hours of thunder and downpours. I'd guess we got 3-4 inches of rain easily. I guess I won't have to water again this week!

I moved indoors and started doing chores I've put off. Dusting, a load of laundry, and putting away lots of stuff. I could do that for the entire week of vacation.
