RAIN

Today's been a challenging day - mentally more than physically. George has been sprucing up the garden: a new pea fence, almost a trellis for the cucumbers, an extra bed - mostly for basil, fertilizing, weeding. We truly realized today just how much basil we're going to have. We're going to have A LOT. In addition to half a flat of young basil we've got an army of infant basil still not in the ground. It's going to be pesto central 'round here.

This afternoon (and this entire week) has threatened rain. In fact, it rained. For about 15-20 minutes it was some super crazy rain, and it all started with a bolt of lightning and clap of thunder directly over the house. Cats were frantic, we were startled, and then we watched the drains back up, the roads flood, the lady across the street and her friend sit in their car for the whole storm instead of making a break for the house. For a brief moment, while it was still raining hard, before the thunder there was some bright, bright sun. Conclusion: the weather in the South is wacky. And their thunderstorms are wicked sweet.
