Rain

I’ve got no complaints against the rain, especially now.  Because until my husband buys a new garden hose, and until we have the money to have the connection to the spigot on the other side of the house fixed, Mother Nature is saving me the time-consuming task of countless trips back and forth between the backyard spigot to various locations throughout my property in order to refill my mere 2 ½ gallon watering can and so I can properly nourish all my budding garden projects.  Right now, everything I planted so far this spring is being well watered by Mother Nature, and for that, I’m thankful.  But days and days of rain?… consecutive days?... a whole week?  I’ve had enough.  I’d like the sun to show itself and to do its part in this whole grow-garden-grow cycle.  I’m itching to get to the garden center to make some purchases… and then coming home to play in the dirt.  Dirt, not mud.
