The notorious wren is back. She's not making a nest in the flower pot pictured above, but she picked the same location of a hanging flower basket for her nest again. The hummingbirds are back too. I did not have a camera on hand, but they are enjoying the early blooms already. We just may get to dry out for a day, but after this morning's rain. At least for a day or maybe even two, before it returns (again). There is always something good in everything. Including frustrating times, or moments, like days and days of rainfall. I finished another book, tried another new treat recipe (more to try), and actually relaxed for once. My husband grilled us the most delicious burgers too. We had chopped up mushrooms and such, for camping, and they made the best swiss mushroom burgers I have ever had. Speaking of which, it reminded me I still have homemade garlic scape butter in the freezer to use up too. I harvested more cleavers in between downpour...
Whelp. It rained and rained and rained here. We are getting a slight break this morning, but we are saturated. Rain returns in a very short bit, and then off and on all day (again). If we are lucky, the rain will stop come Monday. Maybe. Many area festivals are canceling, or have already canceled. On the bright side, it's watering the new trees we planted, and flower bushes, but I do have one red raspberry plant to plant too. The Bad: Our weekend camping trip was canceled. It's not camping if we cannot have a campfire, go hiking or biking and/or campfire cook, or even go fishing. Stuck in the camper would be zero fun (in our current camper anyway). Yes, we we have an awning, but the rain was just too much, and our camper is small. It's not a comfortable place to be when it's raining out. In fact, we had more seating room in our 7 person pop-up camper than we do in our current hard sided camp...
