Gardeners have a love/hate relationship with rain. The plants need it, but it keeps us from getting out in the garden. But Friday morning was perfect.

I had planned to work outside, but it rained hard overnight – giving us about 0.28 inches of rain by my gauge, but it had slowed to a mist by the time we got outside and completely stopped by 9:30.
And it was rain the garden needed. We were about 1.5 inches below normal for May, but June may be damper.
This weekend is expected to be showery, but you can work outside. You and your clothes will get muddy, but it won't hurt your plants.
My plan is to catch up on what I didn't do last weekend. And get Nancy, the better photographer, to take pictures of some of our flowering plants.
The technical people are promising to show me how to put these on my blog. Learning more all the time
