A Little Rain Is A Good Thing

More would be better!

It rained!

Kinda...

Car parking spot --- raked!

The porch got wet...

Except under the eaves.

And when I raked up leaves there was dry dirt underneath.

I think we need a decent rainstorm.

The moss on the trees wakes up when it gets wet.

The moss was green before, but now it turns a bright green.

And the moss gets fluffy!

I did some searches to find out what kind of moss it is and if it's edible.

There was way too much information

and I think I would need a microscope to identify the moss.

I haven't seen deer or the chickens eat the moss so it probably it isn't edible.

Chickens out in the drizzle.

I put the chickens 2nd breakfast inside the shed

just in case it actually started raining.

I did work on the gate.

I think I will need to straighten the gate post.

The added board may have pulled it over a bit.

After I messed with the gate and did some raking,

I came in the house, put more wood in the stove, had some tea and toast,

sat down on the daybed,

and the next thing I knew it was dusk.

Nice nap!

Kristine brought home a cup of tomato bisque (for me!)

from the restaurant where we are going to have dinner tomorrow.

(mmm... their soup is so good!

No eggs.
