The rainy day advantage was up for me once again. I dug through a pile that was building and building. In the process, I found a note written to me.
I know Mother's Day has passed by, but I wanted to share this note I got from my 18 year-old daughter. This one was pretty amazing (not that the other cards and notes were not).
She wrote it in pencil, so I hope you can read it. I darkened the print as best I could too.

Wear it out,
Make it do,
Or go without."

Flood Warnings ~ Porch Time
We had pretty good day in the garden, and I am kind of glad we did not get the weeds out between the smaller pepper plans, green beans, zucchini, tomatoes, nor the carrots.
It's raining again, but today's forecast is 100% rain, heavy rain, windy, flood warnings, and flash flood warnings. We are to get 1-5 inches of water. Maybe the weeds will help protect the plants from the wind today?
I also successfully weeded half of the herb garden. The green onions look terrible this time of year, but I do see little sprouts forming already.
I picked more berries, cut some oregano, and had a daughter shell peas for me, and clean off the dried thyme. Overall, it was a pretty good day, all things weather-wise, considered.
